Aquilegia ‘Earlybird™ Purple Blue’

Aquilegia ‘Earlybird™ Purple Blue’ is a compact variety of this cottage garden staple that is ideal for small spaces, containers and the front of borders. Masses of beautiful bicolored blooms in purple and lilac-blue are held on short stems above a neat mound of attractive lobed foliage. Gently nodding with long spurs, the flowers are the epitome of elegance and are great for cutting to enjoy their beauty up close. This dwarf columbine thrives best in moist but well-drained, fertile soil in part shade. Height and spread: 20-30cm (8-12in).
