Astrantia Sunningdale (variegated)

£7.50

Beautifully variegated foliage with clear cream edges, looking very imposing in a shady area.  The flowers are a pale pink with green and white bracts.  A superb spring foliage plant disliking hot summer sun, which causes it to lose the variegation.  Plant in cool moist soil in a shady border or woodland.  Variegation usually takes a season to develop in the newer foliage.
