Aquilegia vulgaris ‘Mellow Yellow’


Granny’s Bonnet Columbine

USDA Zone: 2-9

Plant number: 1.050.210


Columbines have been grown in gardens for centuries, and are among the most popular of perennials. This unusual selection features lacy foliage of a glowing chartreuse to golden yellow, with taller stems producing delicate small white flowers. The leaves look almost fern-like and are a gorgeous accent beside bolder plants such as blue-leaved Hostas. 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.
