With exceptionally long, green-tipped, white bracts that are often incurved in the middle and raggedly toothed towards the ends, Astrantia major subsp. involucrata 'Shaggy' produces larger than average flower heads for a masterwort.
In ideal conditions this masterwort will self seed freely if the faded flowers are not removed, but the resulting seedlings rarely come true to type.

Incorporate plenty of organic matter when planting and water well in dry weather, especially newly established plants.
Lift and divide large clumps in early spring and apply a generous 5-7cm (2-3in) mulch of well-rotted manure or garden compost around the plant. Divided specimens may take some time to establish since they don't like having their roots disturbed.
Astrantia thrive in consistently moist soils and perform best in cool, partially shaded summer conditions.
