Aquilegia 'Cardinal'

Return to product list.

Columbine

Honored with the Award of Garden Merit by the Royal Horticultural Society in 2003. This selection is a member of the "Songbird Series", produces clusters of large 3 in., long-spurred, dramatic red and white bicolor blossoms.

Hybridized for their compact habit and large flowers, the "Songbird Series" is one of the most showy of all aquilegia. The most unique feature of the plants in this series is the way in which the flowers face skyward, not nodding like many other varieties, maximizing their full visual potential.

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.
