| Any rants/raves for this one? I planted some a few weeks ago and so far they look great, but a new to me plant. |

| I'm also very curious about this plant. I have a fair number of other Astrantias, so I know that it takes the full three years to really show it's stuff. I'm intrigued by the foliage because as someone said, "It's a closeup plant". The foliage should make it stand out, especially in masse. |

| I'm curious, does the variegation look all that white/cream in real life? I took a peek at pics online of it and it doesn't look all that different from 'Sunningdale Variegated' (which I have). Only one pic showed VG looking super white and the rest kind of look like my SV in that transitional stage, when the foliage ages a bit and the gold in the variegation "creams out" a bit, LOL. This probably isn't at all helpful since it isn't exactly the cultivar you are inquiring about but...the most difficult thing with my SV was placement. A smidge too much sun and the edges would burn. Too much shade and the variegation greened out faster. Did you put yours in a more shaded site or slightly sunnier? |

| Part shade; little direct sun (maybe an two hours or so) but very bright shade - brunnera go gangbusters in this location as does chasmanthium, to give you an idea. |
