Astrantia Roma
In this Soto Masterclass Max introduces the Astrania Roma, explaining how Soto suggest using the plant and its key characteristics.
The Astrantia Roma loves being in the sun, partial shade and shade. Max explains how to prolong the flowering season by deadheading regularly, just as the colour starts to fade. Read the Astrantia masterclass for a full explanation.
In the video Max demonstrates how to cut the astrantia’s flowers for a flower arrangement in a vase. In the autumn either leave the flower heads of the Roma for winter interest or watch to see how Max cuts the foliage back with secateurs for a neater finish.
Max explains not to worry about any yellow leaves, it is the natural cycle of the plant.
