case, it is important to visually assess the condition of the root: it must be
healthy, elastic to the touch, without the presence of putrefactive stains.
If the plant is in a container, then its health
evaluated by the aerial parts (turgor of leaves, their color, absence
damage).
When buying rhizomes in the spring they are planted immediately after
acquisitions. If this happened in winter, the roots are planted in pots with
light and nutritious primer and left until spring at home
conditions.
The division of the bush is carried out in early spring before the growing season or
in the autumn after cutting the tops. For этого растение подкапывают, делят
into parts so that each delenka has 2-3 growth buds per
rhizome.
How to plant astrantia

after watering, otherwise there is a high probability of chemical burn

To re-bloom, you should immediately cut off
flowered inflorescences. This pruning stimulates the formation of new
buds.
Once in 5-6 years, astrantia needs a rejuvenating transplant,
which is optimally timed to vegetative reproduction (division
bush). By this age, the appearance of this perennial deteriorates,
decreases flowering intensity.
If a есть желание собрать собственные семена, то на кусте надо
leave the largest inflorescence. Byсле его увядания надеть на него
gauze bag so that the seeds do not crumble. When they mature,
the stem is cut with it, dried in a dry place. Seeds
stored in a paper bag.
In the autumn after the end of the growing season, the above-ground part is cut off almost
