Aquilegia vulgaris var. stellata 'Bordeaux Barlow' produces damson velvet buds which open up to ruffled claret pom poms in May.The charming downturned heads of these intriguing Columbines hold a cluster of contrasting yellow stamens - adored by spring pollinators.Attractive scalloped foliage emerges in late winter and when the blooms appear, they seem to help spring merge seamlessly into summer. Plant to naturalise in your borders or large containers amongst spring bulbs, Hellebores, and Forget-me-nots.The name Aquilegia originates from the Latin word for eagle - 'aquila' because of the claw like appearance of the petals, more prominent in single cultivars. The spurless, double 'Barlow' range of Aquilegia are named after Emma Nora Barlow, the English botanist and geneticist, granddaughter of Charles Darwin, who first bred them.Aquilegia, although delicate in appearance, are deciduous hardy perennials which also make wonderful cut flowers.Plant in a sheltered spot in part sun, part shade in moist, well-drained soil.H&S: 60cm x 30cm
