They did not come back. But I was refunded by customer service. It's a shame, it's still time wasted!

Description

Astrantia Moulin Rouge is floriferous with pretty dark red flowers slightly edged with purple which measure 4 to 5 cm (2in).

It forms sumptuous borders and has an exceptional vase life as a cut flower.

Avoid exposing it to too much heat (midday sun) if your soil is a little dry. It self-seeds quite easily and blooms for a very long time, spectacular in front of a dark hedge.

Planting and care

Plant Astrantia Moulin Rouge in moist soil in partial shade, avoiding excessive exposure to heat (midday sun). In humus-bearing soil, astrantia self-seeds and easily produces new seedlings capable of flowering within a few weeks, prolonging the flowering period for several months. To plant, prepare the soil in a 20 cm (8in) cube by breaking it up well and placing a base fertiliser such as bonemeal at the bottom of the planting hole. Remove from its pot and position, covering the top of the root ball with 3 cm (1in) of soil. Fill in the hole and water thoroughly to eliminate air pockets. Water regularly for a few weeks to aid root establishment if the weather is dry. Young plants are vulnerable to slugs so keep them away using wood ash, slug repellent, or beer-traps! Each of these solutions is highly effective.
