Aquilegia vulgaris ‘Dorothy Rose’
Granny’s Bonnet Columbine |
USDA Zone: 2-9 |
Plant number: 1.050.790
Columbines have been grown in gardens for centuries, and are among the most popular of perennials. This unusual selection features lacy blue-green foliage that forms a low mound, with taller stems bearing tiny double flowers. The blooms are soft-pink and absolutely packed with layers of petals like flowers set inside of flowers. A British introduction, first unveiled at the Chelsea Flower Show in 1999. Since Columbines are relatively short lived, allow some of the plants to go to seed and self sow. Leaf miners or sawfly may disfigure leaves around flowering time. Simply trim off the ugly foliage to rejuvenate.
