I love Astrantias, I know they are very fashionable in England (and I grew them when I lived there). They certainly are hardy here - mine have come through several Maine winters. They are such valuable early summer plants, and I think 'Sunningdale Variegated' has a place in every early summer garden. The flowers are delightful.

A local nursery, Fieldstone Gardens (they have a web site and do mail order) lists quite a few choice varieties.

I'm surprised they aren't more widely grown here.
