I love this one. I bought 3 Astrantia last year and I'm very anxious to see if they have survived. We had a pretty bad drought last summer. I tried to keep them watered........we shall see.

Hi Diohio~ I love this Astrantia too, I love the pale colours. I am doubtful mine will re-emerge seeing as my darling husband did a massive clearout this fall in my front beds and ripped everything out by the roots! : o

I have a purple variation, which i bought 6t yrs ago at the famous Chelsea Flower Show, and keep going by propagating from seed. It remains my favourite colour coupling with white, lemon, creamy white, or pale green. Could not possibly write the adjectives which come into my mind when i see such colour combos, lol!

I love your color selections, the silvery foliage plants with the different shades of pinks and white look great together.These colors lend a cool, refreshing feel to the garden.
