Features

notes
Wonderfully delicate and befitting its common name of Granny’s Bonnet, Aquilegia Rhubarb & Custard bears dainty red and yellow flowers in late spring. Its compact habit makes it ideal for containers and borders, and it can also be used as a cut flower.
Insights

Mound forming, it is ideal for planting in drifts in a naturalistic planting or in the middle or front of a border but would also be happy planted in a container. The flowers prove irresistible to bees and other pollinators.
