Where to plant Aquilegia
Aquilegia are best planted in a moist but well-drained soil of sand, loam or chalk within an acidic, alkaline or neutral PH balance. They are best positioned in an area of full sun or part shade. Aquilegia are well suited to flower beds and borders within informal, courtyard and cottage garden settings.
How to plant Aquilegia
If planting bare roots, place the root, growing points up, into a hole in the ground. Cover with 5 cm of soil or compost up to the ground level. Should you have heavy soil which does not drain easily the roots can be planted into pots and transplanted once they have broken dormancy. Young plants should be put into pots for 4-6 weeks until they are strong enough to go straight into flower beds and borders.
