Aquilegia vulgaris (Columbine)

Columbine

Double, rich, dark wine red flowers. Gray-green, deeply divided leaves.

Growing & Maintenance Tips
Sun or partial shade in a well-drained, moist soil. Makes a great border plant. Because the flowering season ending early, columbines should be planted where their fading leaves will be camouflaged by foliage of other plants.

Interesting Information
Aquilegia is a derivation of aquila, like an eagle, which may refer to the resemblance of the spurlike petals to an eagle's beak.
