Aquilegia caerulea | Crimson Star | Granny's Bonnet | Columbine Sarah Raven Make sure to cut themA beautiful crimson star shaped coloured Aquilegia with its delicate white centre petals, this garden favourite blooms for weeks in spring, rising their lovely little nodding heads above soft bluish green, ferny foliage. Another of our must have garden treasures! Perfect little doers under deciduous trees, where they self seed freely. This is a short lived perennial, but if you leave the seed heads on them, you'll have them forever. Great cut flowers
