Product description
A large upright variety standing above deeply cut light green foliage with white petals and unusually showy spurs in a stunning powder blue. "Coerule" is Latin for "blue". One of the easiest and most rewarding Perennials available producing long spurred blooms from late spring to early summer. Best grown in a sunny to partially shaded location, with a humus rich, slightly acidic soil. Height 75cm.
· Sow under-cover from 4-8 weeks before the last frost through to Jul, cover seeds very lightly with vermiculite and expect germination within 2 - 6 weeks at 15 to 20 °C.
· Transplant and grow on gradually acclimatising to outdoor conditions. Seeds sown late will over-winter under glass / cover.
· Aquilegias will readily re-seed and can be sown direct to borders or in wild / natural grass areas.
· Feeding is unnecessary unless the soil is exceptionally poor. An aquilegia should not need staking, but an overfed plant will flop.
