Aquilegia vulgeris 'Clemetine Blue'

WOW this is beautiful!

Thank you Michaella. When I saw this last year I had to have it. Not growing quickly, but it did surviv ethe winter. :-)

Very striking !

Thanks Mikec. A little bigger each year.

It is a lovely plant, the only problem is that the flowers don't look like 'normal' Aquilegias at all.

That is what I loved about it. Aquilegia survives winter here so well that they are in most gardens. Nice to have one a little unusual. :-)

Greenthumb, yours is a very different colour to mine, mine is actually a rosy colour.
I'm envious that yours is still flowering, mine are long long gone :(
How do you keep them flowering for such a long time ?

Ah, i now know why.
Should have checked where you were first, ooops!
Enjoy those beauties, i love them :)

By the way, over here you can get the other colours in that 'series' ....
Clementine Red, C Dark Purple, C White and C Salmon Rose.
The rose and the purples are the ones i have.

Do you get all of them there Greenthumb ?
I recommend them :))

I'll keep my eye out. Only one greenhouse had them last year and this color only. I sure love them. I wish they lasted longer myself Louise. I've been very dedicated on removing the seed heads soon as the petals begin to fall to lengthen the blooming period. That is all I know to do. The tag I got this had a pink bloom, so I'm not sure it was meant to be this color.

What a lovely specimen ! The dark purple blooms really stand out against this variety's chartreuese foliage.

Thanks. I love it. Taking its time growing, but it has lots more blooms this year.

Fabulous Gt and nothing like ours....

That is the vulgaris. Bred to have an upright bloom, definately altered from the original.
