Position: full sun or partial shade Soil: fertile, moist, well-drained soil Rate of growth: average Flowering period: June Hardiness: fully hardy Masses of narrow, pink sepals that fade to white towards their tips and are sometimes flushed with green, form almost spherical, fully double flower heads around a cluster of golden stamens. One of the most popular aquilegias, it is highly prized for its bright, cheerful flowers and graceful, upright habit.

Divided specimens may take some time to establish since they don’t like having their roots disturbed.
