Aquilegia vulgaris var. stellata | 'Nora Barlow'

Aquilegia vulgaris var. stellata | 'Nora Barlow'

Aquilegia vulgaris var. stellata 'Nora Barlow' Columbine or Grannys Bonnet.

Of all the spring plants in the garden Aquilegias are amongst the loveliest. 
Also fondly known as Grannys Bonnet or Columbine, there are so many varieties it's hard to pick a favourite, so here at Puriri Lane@Addenbrooke we have quite a selection! 

The Barlow series are known for their exquisitely pretty double blooms and 'Nora Barlow' is no exception. 

Many deep rose coloured petals with very pretty white edges softly curve outwards making them look full and delicate, held above their equally delicate fresh foliage, such a treat in early Spring. The seed heads add a great texture and they're great for picking too! What's not to love about this pretty lady? 

Aquilegias prefer a full sun or dappled shady spot but will tolerate deeper shade if the ground is kept moist but not soaked. Under deciduous trees is perfect, but they look just as lovely at the front or middle of cottage style borders, where they will grow to 70cm tall and 40cm wide. 

Start a collection..but be warned, they're addictive!

 

NOTE

Plants tend to hunker down over the winter especially in colder areas they are essentially deciduous but in milder climates we find that they can retain a small amount of foliage.

Aquilegia hybridise readily so new plants will have some variation to the parent plant.  You can actually divide Aquilegias in spring but be aware they do resent disturbance so may take a while to settle in again before they're flower.

Flowers can be used as a cut flower in floral work.  If growing for cutting, you may wish to treat these as a biennial rather than a perennial and plant fresh plants each season and self-sown prodigy are often not identical to the parent due to cross pollination.  For the longest vase life, flowers should be harvested early in their flowering cycle before they drop any petals. There are many, many varieties to choose from that are great for cutting and you can see more of our Aquilegias here

Please note that contact with the sap can irritate sensitive skins.
