Astrantia major ‘Moulin Rouge’

Astrantia major ‘Moulin Rouge’ is a striking perennial prized for its deep wine-red pincushion flowers, set above finely divided mid-green foliage. Blooming from late spring into summer, it can produce repeat flowers when cut back, adding rich colour and texture to borders, naturalistic plantings, or mixed perennial beds.

Unlike many astrantias, ‘Moulin Rouge’ retains its intense dark colouring even in bright conditions. Thriving in moist, well-drained soil with sun or partial shade, it is fully hardy and low-maintenance. Its nectar-rich flowers attract bees and other pollinators, enhancing garden biodiversity, while the blooms also make excellent long-lasting cut flowers. With its dramatic colour, elegant form, and ecological benefits, Astrantia major ‘Moulin Rouge’ is a versatile and standout addition to any perennial garden.
