Masterwort produces many small, ivory flowers that are flushed pink and bloom continuously throughout the summer and fall.The flowering period extends from June through September. Astrantia major is an entomophilous plant, mainly pollinated by beetles, but also by other insects. This perennial plant reproduces itself also by means of buds present at the ground level.
