Description
Aquilegia 'Dove' (Songbird Series)
Height x Spread: 45cm x 40cm
Incredibly large and elegant white flowers bloom on this cultivar, with long spurs decorating the back of the flower.
An iconic cottage garden plant, this exquisite Aquilegia puts on a stunning display from early summer for many weeks in a sunny or part shady position in the border. Fairly undemanding, it is a good choice for planting near or beneath shrubs or roses, or in drifts at the front of an informal style area. They are not a long lived perennial, each plant having a life expectancy of 4 years.
Toxic if eaten.
Available for Mail Order from April - August
