Aquilegia vulgaris - Organic perennial

There are about 120 different species of Columbine, all of which have three-lobed, blue-green leaves and beautiful, striking flowers. They are perennial, herbaceous plants that are hardy.

The Columbine has bell-shaped, pendulous flowers on thin stems. The flowers consist of different colours, which provide a nice colour palette when flowering. The varieties all flower from April to July. 

Planting or sowing Columbines is best done in late autumn and early spring. The plant flowers best in full sun but will also tolerate half-shadow. It prefers well-drained soil and is an easy plant that will also self-sow. The soil should remain moist, so in dry weather the plant should be given plenty of water.
