Astrantia 'Star of Fire' is a striking perennial known for its deep burgundy-red blooms with white centers, surrounded by dark, papery bracts. Blooming from early summer to early fall, it thrives in rich, moist, well-drained soil and prefers partial shade. Its long-lasting flowers attract pollinators and make excellent cut flowers, while its compact habit suits borders, woodland gardens, and mixed plantings.
