How to Care for the Plant
Water
Since masterwort plant needs moist soil, it needs to be watered frequently during times of drought, otherwise it will die. It should be fertilized once or twice a year for best growth.
Pruning
After flowering, astrantias can be rejuvenated by cutting them back close to the ground – fresh new foliage and a late crop of flowers are produced soon after. Astrantias don't spread far but they do self seed.
Fertilizer
Astrantia grows best in moist soil with plenty of organic material. Plants can be fertilized in early spring and again at mid-summer, but probably is not necessary in rich soils.
