Astrantia major 'Venice' PP#18,420
600 Blooms a Season! Plant Patent #18,420. The bloom strength of this new Dutch Astrantia is nothing short of incredible! Over many weeks in late spring and early summer, it sets hundreds of brilliant ruby red flowers on long, wiry stems, indifferent to the weather and so numerous you can pick a giant bouquet without making a dent in the look of the plant! Far and away the most floriferous Astrantia ever grown, 'Venice' is a powerhouse that must be grown to be believed. When mature, a single plant (just 22 inches high and about 13 inches wide) yields more than 600 blooms a season. It seems impossible, we know -- yet wait until you see this everbloomer continuously setting new buds! Each flowering stem bears about 80 blooms, and when you consider that there are at least 8 flowering stems per plant, the numbers add up pretty quickly! Butterflies adore these blooms, of course, and the handsome green foliage completely vanishes beneath the radiant canopy of color at the height of bloom season. Each flower is about 2 inches wide, with a skirt of long, slender, pointed petals beneath a large fuzzy pompon of ruby red to burgundy, flecked with white to cream. The blooms are long-lasting both fresh and dried -- in fact, with their intensity of color, they are one of the best Everlastings! 'Venice' was developed in Holland, and like all Astrantia, it is very easy to grow in full sun and well-drained soil. Once established, it tolerates heat, humidity, rain, wind, and even drought. You never need pamper this workhorse, though it does flower best in well-enriched soil. An absolute necessity for the cutting garden, it is also compact enough to dot throughout the sunny perennial garden for tremendous late spring and early summer color! Upright and neat, 'Venice' is a good choice for containers as well. Make the most of the season with this amazing bloom machine, and if you are contemplating a water-sparing garden, consider it one of the mainstays, along with Stonecrop, Butterfly Weed, and Hyssop. So useful, yet so endlessly colorful and productive! Zones 6-9. This product can be purchased in the following collection: Bareroot Item # 41867 Astrantia 'Venice' PP#18,420 |
