Aquilegia 'Spring Magic Rose & Ivory'
- From late spring, this aquilegia produces a romantic display of nodding, two-toned flowers with soft rose-pink outer petals and pale ivory-yellow centres that beautifully brighten garden borders.
- Forming a neat, clump-forming mound up to around 40cm tall, this plant boasts delicately divided, blue-green foliage that offers a wonderful, fern-like texture even before the plant blooms.
- Recognised on the official RHS Plants for Pollinators list, this is a fantastic, nectar-rich perennial that actively attracts bees and other beneficial pollinating insects to your garden.
- It's a highly versatile and easy-to-grow plant, thriving equally in patio containers, traditional cottage gardens or as underplanting for shrubs in either full sun or partial shade.
- The plant's common name, columbine, is derived from the Latin word 'columba' (meaning dove) because the unique shape of the inverted flower resembles five small doves clustered together.
