Intensely coloured violet blue sepals, that provide a vibrant contrast to the yellow stamens, form slightly nodding or outward-facing flowers on stiff, upright stems. This aquilegia looks very effective when planted next to silver foliage, and the flowers will last well in cut arrangements.

How to care for Aquilegia vulgaris var. stellata Blue Barlow (Barlow Series):

Lift and divide large clumps in early spring and apply a generous 5-7cm (2-3in) mulch of well-rotted manure or garden compost around the plant. Divided specimens may take some time to establish since they don't like having their roots disturbed.
