Beautiful....just like a pin cushion.I only have the common ol' white ones !I had a pink A.Major once but didn't last so I assumed it didn't like my clay!

My Astrantia Roma is doing well in the clay, 3 years now. Not seen a white one to buy Paul :o)

Love these Annella... they.ve been on my wish list for ages, tried a few of the GC in our area, but no one seems to have them... might have to go on line. My fav one of all is Haspens Blood, a really dark red one :-)

The white ones are very common around here Anella and seed prolifically! Cocus have the white Astrantia but seem very expensive to me!!

I hunted every local Gc to find this, any chance of some seed Paul ;O))

Yes, of course! I'll collect some later in the summer (it's only started flowering recently so a little while before any seeds) but I'll message you for address when got them!

I will do the same if you would like some from this one :o))

That's lovely. My white one 'Snow Star' is to be split next year if you want some Annella.

That would be smashing Annella.I could try them and keep one in a pot in case it doesn't like my soil although if it likes yours, should be ok! Thanks.

Some sunny parts of my garden seem to be better than others but they are on the slope so good drainage.

These plants thrive here, have posted a similar pic, such good doers......

Annella.... can I be cheeky and ask for some seeds from yours? I've tried on line, but very expensive.

27 Jun, 2013
