Aquilegia vulgaris - Granny's Bonnet, Columbine.
This is the true columbine of Europe, one of the parents of many hybrids. It grows to 3' high with a spread of 18" or more. On long stems from the center of a loose rosette of gray-green foliage, it bears funnel-shaped, short-spurred flowers, typically dull blue in wild plants but ranging through pink, crimson, white and purple in garden varieties. The cultivar 'Nora Barlow' has double flowers of a curious form, with many narrow, greenish sepals and pink petals that lack spurs.
Zones 3-10
Cultivation:
Frost hardy, they prefer a well-drained light soil, enriched with manure, and a sunny site protected from strong winds and with some shade in hot areas. In cold climates columbines are perennials and need to be cut to the ground in late winter, but growing the larger-flowered cultivars as annuals usually gives best results. Propagate by division or from seed in fall and spring; many of them self-seed readily.
