A standout herbaceous perennial known for its striking deep red flowers, which are surrounded by rich burgundy-purple bracts that form a rosette-like pattern. Flowering from June to August, 'Venice' offers a longer blooming period than many other masterworts, making it an excellent choice for summer borders.
The plant thrives in moist, humus-rich soil and performs well in shaded areas. Ideal for cutting, the flowers make long-lasting additions to fresh or dried arrangements, adding both beauty and elegance to any garden or floral display.

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.
