Barlow Rose Aquilegia Plant

The Aquilegia Barlow Rose Columbine Plant produces charmingly pink flowers atop purplish-pink stems that showcase creamy yellow anthers. If you look closely, you will sometimes see just a touch of purple on the very tip of the outermost petals. Known to attract butterflies, this spur-less lady resembles a Dahlia when it blooms, but is most certainly a Columbine, though and through.

Our Aquilegia Plants are nurtured with precision and care, ensuring they are free from harmful pesticides and ready to enhance your garden with their unique beauty. Guaranteed to arrive healthy and vibrant!
