* Cold-germinators are still referred to as frost-germinators, although this is not quit correct. The sowing must be kept warm (about +18+22 °C) and moist for the first 2-4 weeks. After this period the sowing must be kept a cold temperature (between -4 and +4 °C) for another 4-6 weeks. It is not so important if the temperature is higher or lower during the cooling period, but the cooling period has to be prolonged because the synthesis of the germination inducer, hormon-like acid, slows down or comes to a standstill.
It is beneficial to cover the sowing with snow during the cooling-period. The temperature below it usually keeps in the optimum range of -4 °C to 0 °C. The sowing is kept moist , and the melting snow helps to destroy the shell, which is advantageous for the germinating seedling. After this cooling-period the sowing may not be immediately exposed to high temperatures. The most effective temperatures are between +5 to +12 °C, even if germination has started. The best location for this sowing, even in March, April and May, is the open field, the cold frame or a cold greenhouse.

Largest Masterwort. Bot. syn.: Astrantia helleborifolia.
For successful cultivation of Astrantia, the main thing is that the soil is moderately moist throughout the season. This means: if the soil on the site is clayey and moisture-intensive, then astrantia can be planted in the sun, and if, on the contrary, it is porous and easily gives off moisture, then the best place for astrantia will be in partial shade. The inconspicuous bushes of astrantia evoke a feeling of amazing lightness and airiness. They are very appropriate near heavy lilies, daylilies and low roses with large flowers.
