Aquilegia ‘Blue Butterflies’

Product Details

Aquilegia ‘Blue Butterflies’ is a gem: This choice plant is perfect for edging a border, rock gardens, and containers. The flowers are a rich purplish blue with white edges and are beautifully offset by the lovely blue-green leaves. Delightful. Provide winter protection in Zones 5 or colder.

Lacy greens and dancing, late-spring blooms characterize these lovely border plants. They make excellent cut flowers if picked when half open. Grow in full sun or partial shade (required in the South and in western Zones 9 and 10) and average garden soil. Propagation is by seed, so color, while quite reliable, cannot be guaranteed. Aquilegias struggle in the desert Southwest.
