Product Description
This eclectic mix of hardy Aquilegia hybrids (also known as columbine) will offer you an assortment of colours and shades to look just perfect in all garden types.
The sepals may be one colour, and the five petals something different. The enchanting flowers have subtly hooked spurs, that nod with poise from the branching and upright stems. The flowers are tropical looking, interesting and elegant but robust!
Aquilegias are at their best in late spring and early summer, filling the bridging the gap between the last of the spring bulbs and the first of the summer flowering favourites. They are fantastic for adding joy to a mixed border.

Plant Information
Top Tips
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.
Care Guide
-
Grow in fertile, moist but well-drained soil in full sun or partial shade.
-
To encourage more flowers, and prevent self-seeding, deadhead regularly. Cut back foliage after flowering to promote fresh growth in late summer.
