Description
Common Astartea is a delicate shrub, prized for its profusion of small, star-shaped flowers and fine, heath-like foliage. Clusters of tiny five-petaled blooms in soft white to pale pink appear abundantly in spring and summer, making this species excellent for cut flowers. Its fine-textured green foliage adds beautiful contrast and texture. Common Astartea thrives in well-drained sandy soils, tolerates clay, and grows best in full sun to partial shade, with some protection from harsh conditions.
