(=‘Blue Angel’) Columbines have been grown in gardens for centuries, and are among the most popular of perennials. Hummingbirds will often drop in to sip nectar from the flowers. This dwarf selection features bright blue and white flowers over a compact mound of waxy grey-green foliage. Perfect for the rock garden, edging or in containers and troughs. Since Columbines are relatively short lived, allow some of the plants to go to seed and self sow: the resulting plants may prove to be hybrids and differ from the parents. Leaf miners or sawfly may disfigure the leaves around flowering time. Simply trim off the ugly foliage and the plants will grow fresh leaves. This excellent strain has been offered for many years as Aquilegia flabellata ‘Blue Angel'.
