Aquilegia vulgaris var. stellata plena 'Nora Barlow'
Aquilegia vulgaris var. stellata plena 'Nora Barlow'
Columbine is a traditional English cottage garden plant. It grows best on humus rich soil in light shade, but it is not overly particular.
The Barlow series was originally bred for cut flower production, but we think it makes an excellent addition to the part shade garden. 'Nora Barlow' was the first in the series. Double pink flowers with white tips top ferny foliage.
Tip: These promiscuous plants will send forth a profusion of mixed up seedlings if not grown in isolation.
