Stunning Flower Form -- Utterly Unique!
Aquilegia Winky Double Red and White
It may even self-sow in your sunny to partly shaded garden.
Hummingbirds and butterflies love these flowers.
If you have never grown Columbines before, this is the variety to begin with ? easy, beautiful, and often willing to self-sow in your garden for bigger and better displays every year! Winky Double Red and White holds its brilliant blooms facing outward instead of hanging down, for a colorful display in garden or vase.
Winky Double Red and White blooms heavily in spring, before most other perennials have even completely leafed out, let alone set buds. It thrives in full sun in the north, but appreciates a bit of afternoon shade in hotter climates. The foliage is fern-like and attractive long past bloomtime, setting its flowers on tall, slender stalks high above the leaves.
Butterflies and hummingbirds adore this plant, which is happy in any soil except very heavy, poorly drained ones. Enjoy the beauty of this early-blooming perennial in your garden for years to come! Zones 3-8.
