Aquilegia 'Columbine Mix'

This mixture of hardy Aquilegia hybrids (also known as columbine or granny's bonnets) will provide you with an array of colours and shades, ranging from whites and reds, to yellows and purples, with dusky and darker shades in the mix as well. The sepals may be one colour, and the five petals something different. The charming flowers have softly hooked spurs, that nod gracefully from the branching and upright stems. The flowers are always eye-catching, curious and delightful!

Hardy, tough, robust perennial plants, Aquilegias are at their best in late spring and early summer, filling the seasonal gap between the last of the spring bulbs and the first of the summer flowers. They are wonderful for adding drama to a mixed border.

Ideal for the front of the bed or border, these mixed columbines will thrive in a moist but well drained soil in a partial or dappled shady position. However, in countries like the UK, where full sun is not a common occurrence, they will also perform well in an open position.
