Astrantia major 'Purple Happiness'

Astrantia major ‘Purple Happiness’ develops dense clusters of dark green, deeply lobed leaves topped by branched stems bearing striking dark purple-red pincushion flowers surrounded by vibrant bracts from early summer through autumn. Removing spent blooms promotes further flowering, though the decorative seed heads can be left intact. This hardy perennial requires minimal care and delivers enduring color. Its prolonged bloom period and adaptability to light conditions ranging from partial shade to full sun make it a versatile addition. The intricate flower structure attracts pollinators such as bees and butterflies while remaining resistant to deer and rabbits.
