Asteromoea mongolica [Kalimeris pinnatifida 'Hortensis'] ORPHANAGE PLANT, JAPANESE ASTER Strong stems are upright with an open branch habit forming an almost spherically shaped plant. Resists pests and disease. Long bloomer, at least 12 weeks, with numerous little semi-double daisylike flowers that fade to light pink in early autumn. Does well in bright shade of open woodlands, and even better in full sun. Thrives in average fertility and moisture, but tolerates damp soil quite well.

Astilbe PLUME FLOWER These are long blooming, very useful, durable plants. Excellent display in rich, moist, acid soil. After the flowers fade, the rich brown plumes may be left to decorate the winter landscape. Shades of green, to greens with bronze, red or purplish red tones highlight the sight of elegant, lacy shapes of the astilbe leaf.

Astrantia MASTERWORT These plants have unique and beautifully shaped flowers that mimic pincushions with a collar of bracts giving a star like appearance. The papery blooms are held on branched wiry stems and the divided leaves form a dense clump. Excellent cut or dried flower. Astrantia major (the species) has greenish white flowers while other cultivars or species may bloom white, pink, purple or red. Astrantias grow best in cool climates and they dislike hot humid weather.
