Astrantia major “Roma” (Masterwort ‘Roma’) has delicate pink flowers that are perched atop thin stems, grouped together into a domed shape. Blooming in late spring and early summer, A. major ‘Roma’ prefers full sun to partial shade.
It reaches heights between 18 and 24 inches, tolerates a wide range of soils, and is resistant to mammalian herbivory. Deadheading these flowers can help prolong the flowering period and prevent the plant from seeding.
