Aquilegia vulgaris 'Green Apples'

Columbine or Granny's Bonnet is a traditional English cottage garden plant. It is best known for its flowers, which are long lasting and lovely, but we grow it for its foliage. The glaucous scalloped leaves are extremely decorative and look fresh from early spring through late fall.

Very easy to grow. Prefers humus rich soil in light shade, but it is not overly particular. Deer and rabbit resistant.

'Green Apples' is a graceful beauty. Its luminuous, double green-ish white flowers brighten any shady spot.

Note: These are promiscuous plants that will mix and mingle if not grown in relative isolation.

WARNING: mildly poisonous to livestock. Contact with sap may irritate the skin.
