Aquilegia ‘Swan’ mixture
Swan Columbine |
USDA Zone: 3-9 |
Plant number: 1.050.950
Columbines are now available in a wide range of colours and plant heights. The midsized Swan series features large spurred blooms held on sturdy stems over lacy leaves. This variety has bright yellow outer petals surrounding an inner white trumpet or corolla. Excellent for cutting. Since Columbines are relatively short lived, allow some of the plants to go to seed and self sow, though the offspring may not always resemble the mother plant. Leaf miners or sawfly may disfigure the leaves around flowering time. Simply trim off the ugly foliage and the plants will grow fresh leaves.
