Aquilegia vulgaris 'Heidi'

Columbine or Granny's Bonnet is a traditional English cottage garden plant. It is best known for its flowers, which are long lasting and lovely, but we grow it for its foliage. The glaucous scalloped leaves are extremely decorative and look fresh from early spring through late fall.

Very easy to grow. Prefers hummus rich soil in light shade, but it is not overly particular. Deer and rabbit resistant.

'Heidi' puts forth a profusion of pink blooms.

Tip: These promiscuous plants will send forth a profusion of mixed up seedlings if not grown in isolation.
