Aquilegia vulgaris var. stellata 'Black Barlow' (Barlow Series)

Add a touch of dramatic elegance to your garden with the 'Black Barlow' Columbine. This perennial forms an upright clump of delicate, grey-green foliage.

In late spring to early summer, it produces an abundance of striking, deep purple, double flowers. These are pompon-like and lack the traditional spurs.

• Height and Spread: Reaches a height of approximately 80cm and spreads to 50cm.
• Wildlife Benefits: While its double flowers are less accessible to some pollinators, the plant remains a valuable larval food source for several moth species.
• Also Known As: Double Columbine or Granny's Bonnet.

Plant in well-drained soil in a spot with partial shade for best results. It will also tolerate sun if the soil remains moist.

This plant self-seeds readily, so you can enjoy new plants in your garden for years to come. Do you have a shady border that needs a focal point?
