Astrantia

Astrantia, (otherwise known as Great Masterwort), is a genus of the same family as Cow Parsley – the Apiaceae family.

Astrantia has fast become an extremely popular flower in cottage gardens over the past few years because of its daisy shaped flowers with a pretty pin-cushioned centre. The flowers spray from the stem in long bracts.

Astrantia is a very popular flower for drying due to the strong stems and robust flowers. To dry astrantia, simply hang upside down in a warm, dark and dry place.

Astrantia is available on the wholesale flower markets as a cut flower and is sold in wraps of 10 or 20 stems. Astrantia is usually no more than 60cm tall in stem length.

In 2010 astrantia made an emergence as a very popular wedding flower due to vintage wedding flowers being in vogue.
