Aquilegia 'Biedermeier'
Hybrid columbine
A graceful, old fashioned diminuative perennial with flowers in shades of pink, purple, light blue and white. Aquilegia is best planted where the fading leaves will be camouflaged by foliage of later emerging plants such as Heuchera, woodland Asters or ferns. It is beautiful when naturalized in a woodland setting and will self sow freely when happy.

Growing and Maintenance Tips
Columbine thrives in part to full shade, in any well-drained soil. Plants tolerate full sun if temperatures are cool, but they prefer partial shade. They may go dormant in mid summer if stressed by heat or drought, but will emerge again in late winter. Plants reseed readily and plantings may double in size in two years.
