A genus of herbaceous plants with delicate, star-shaped flowers, native to mountain regions of Europe and Asia.
From Latin 'astrum' meaning 'star', referring to the star-like arrangement of the flower clusters. The genus name was coined to describe the distinctive stellar appearance of the blooms.
Astrantia flowers are beloved by florists because they have tiny star-shaped florets clustered together—the name literally means 'star flower,' and once you see it, you can't unsee the stars in the arrangement!
