Aquilegia vulgaris ‘Christa Barlow’
Granny's Bonnet Columbine |
USDA Zone: 2-9 |
Plant number: 1.050.250
Columbines have been grown in gardens for centuries, and are among the most popular of perennials. Hummingbirds will often drop in to sip nectar from the flowers. This unusual selection features fully double, rounded deep-blue flowers, the petals edged in white. Foliage is light-green and ferny. Excellent for cutting. Since Columbines are relatively short lived, allow some of the plants to go to seed and self sow. Leaf miners or sawfly may disfigure leaves around flowering time. Simply trim off the ugly foliage to rejuvenate.
