Aquilegia vulgaris Details

Aquilegia vulgaris, commonly known as Columbine, is an herbaceous perennial grown for its amazing flowers. It features elegant, blue-purple flowers during spring and summer. It grows as a ferny mound to about 40 cm tall and the same wide, performing best when positioned in full sun or partial shade on a well-drained soil. It is tolerant of moderate frost and short periods of dry. Aquilegia vulgaris is great for rock gardens, adding to mixed or border plantings, planting beneath trees, growing around the barbecue area, or maintaining in a container. A mass planting looks spectacular with this plant.
