    Plant Type: Perennials

    The lovely and unique blossoms of this selection are fully double and look more like small dahlias than columbine flowers. Its petals are red and pink with either white or light green margins. Aquilegia is especially lovely when allowed to naturalize in shady, woodland borders. They also have excellent potential as cut flowers, lasting up to 2 weeks in a vase.
