    This variety of columbine has pretty pale blue flowers which make a fine display during the late spring. Sturdy stems carry sprays of some 5-10 blooms, each shaped with elegant long spurs in blue and contrasting ivory coloured trumpet. Happy in either full sun or light shade, this plant will prove a welcome nectar point for bees and butterflies.

  • Garden care: Remove spent flowers to prevent seed production if no new plants are wanted. Plants are sometimes short-lived so may need to be replaced every two to three years. Contact with sap may cause irritation.
