    Ive used both of these companies in the past.
    They are very easy to grow from seeds, you could get far more it you try that.🙂

    Not sure of the best online supplier , but your two links look good Lyn !
    Daniel , if you ever get the opportunity to acquire Astrantia major 'Sunningdale Variegated' , I can highly recommend it !

    Astrantia Roma is one to look out for. The plant is sterile (so doesn't produce seeds) the upshot is that unlike most astrantias it just keeps on flowering rather than setting seed and stop flowering

    I’ve just had my Parker’s sale order delivered, the pack of Alstromera that I paid £5.39 for a pack of 5, actually had 6 in the bag. 

    oops   Wrong thread, we’re talking astantias here😀

    They've got bareroot astrantia at Wilko for £2. I'm not certain which variety they are - doesn't say online but they have the same colouring as Roma.

    I'm going to try some
