Columbine Earlybird Blue White, Granny's Bonnet Earlybird Blue White, Monk's Head Lily Earlybird Blue White
Prized for its vibrant colors and neatly mounded habit, Aquilegia Earlybird Blue White (Columbine) is a compact perennial boasting a profusion of long-spurred, bright blue and white flowers. Blooming profusely in late spring to early summer, the blossoms are borne on relatively short stems and rise elegantly above the lacy, deeply-cut foliage. Noted for its controlled habit, this columbine is generally short-lived but will self-seed in the landscape in satisfactory growing conditions. Excellent for both the landscape and containers. As an added bonus, the flowers will last well in cut arrangements.
Aquilegia is a genus of clump-forming, short-lived perennials noted for their late spring to midsummer blooms of single or double, short-spurred or spurless flowers, in a variety of colors ranging from blue to violet to white to pink to red. A classic element of herbaceous borders, Columbines mix beautifully with peonies, irises, alliums and roses.
