A favourite for shady corners and spring bouquets, Aquilegia ‘Barlow Mix’ is a heritage blend of double, spurless blooms in shades of plum, dusky pink, white, and deep violet. The flowers nod gracefully on branching stems and bring a touch of vintage elegance to cottage gardens and arrangements alike. Loved by bees and early-season florists, this columbine mix offers both whimsy and structure as the garden begins to stir.
Best for: Naturalistic borders, soft spring florals, shady or woodland-style gardens.
Approx 30 seeds per packet
