Aquilegia vulgaris var. stellata


Clematis-flowered Columbine

USDA Zone: 2-9

Plant number: 1.050.340


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 selection features interesting wide raspberry-purple flowers, over a low mound of ferny green foliage. 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. Trim off the ugly foliage and plants will grow fresh ones.
