(Aquilegia ‘Crimson Star’)
Distinctive Granny’s Bonnet-shaped flowers, and beautiful large maiden-hair type foliage. Easily grown in a wide range of positions.
The flowers are an eye catching blend of red and pink, and appear in mid spring and early summer.
Columbines will grow well in sun or light shade in normal garden soil. Plant in blocks or drifts among other spring flowering perennials.
Incorporating organic matter into the soil will be beneficial. Cut to the ground during winter to promote fresh spring growth.
Regular applications of Seasol and Power Feed during spring and summer will keep it growing well and looking its best.
