Columbine Clementine Blue

Columbine Clementine Blue, Aquilegia vulgaris 'Clementine Blue' is part of a spectacular new generation of Columbine with flowers resembling a small double flowering Clematis. The bright blue flowers of 'Clementine Blue' are fully double and spurless and face upward to greet you in the garden. In late spring and early summer, they produce picture perfect bouquets of flowers just above the mounded foliage. Resistant to both deer and rabbits. 'Clementine Blue' is easily grown in average, medium, well drained soil in full sun to part shade. Tolerates wide range of soils except heavy, poorly drained ones. Prefers rich, moist soils with light to moderate shade. Remove flowering stems after bloom to encourage additional bloom. Keep soils uniformly moist after bloom to prolong attractive foliage appearance. When foliage depreciates, plants may be cut to the ground.
