Largest Masterwort - Astrantia maxima.
An amazing plant from the Apiaceae family, creating an unusual feeling of lightness and airiness.
Homeland - the Caucasus. Very decorative long-rhizome compact plant about 40-60 cm high with tripartite leaves. The flowers are small, pink, collected in simple umbrellas up to 4.5 cm in diameter.
The involucral leaves of the flower are membranous, slightly reddish, about 1 cm long. Vegetates from April to October. Blooms in June and blooms for about 2 months. Seeds ripen in August.
The plant is drought-resistant, with a powerful branched root system. Loves light, but tolerates partial shade. It is frost-resistant, but it is better to cover young plants with spruce branches.
He does not like transplantation, he can grow for a very long time in one place.
Very easy to propagate by seeds before winter. When sowing in the spring, stratification is needed within 2-3 months. Adult bushes are divided in spring or autumn.
Flowers for cutting.

* 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.
