Plant of the Month
June
Astrantia major 'Roma'
Astrantia 'Roma' is one of my go-to perennials for adding soft colour and structure to a border. Its delicate pink, pincushion flowers float above finely cut foliage from June right through to September. It’s especially useful in part shade and always seems to lift a planting scheme with its gentle, romantic feel. I like to use it near paths or seating areas where its detail can be appreciated up close – and the pollinators love it too.
