(5-7 sun/part shade)   75x45cm

The double, dark blue-black flowers are held on tall stems and persist much longer than single flowered aquilegias. They like a moist but free-draining soil and ours grow particularly well in a north facing situation. Being transparent they are seldom affected by strong winds. Easy and will seed about when happy. They associate well with white Alliums and look good mixed with other Aquilegias. Cut hard back after flowering.
