Not only did the fabulous Katie Holten give me some Aquilegia, she also gave me some Astrantia major 'Magnum Blush' . I took the big clump and divided it into 4 smaller plants. I kept one of these clumps for my own garden, and I'm delighted to report its doing brilliant.
Astrantia is a great 'filler plant', its not a guiding light of the garden, its a filler - a workhorse, something that fills the space and lets other shine. It does produce a small flower but the main reason you're gonna be growing this is to fill space, in my garden its planted to fill space between the Comfry and Cordyline, reducing my weeding...
