Aquilegia vulgaris 'Blue Barlow' - 2026

Aquilegia vulgaris 'Blue Barlow' is a charming perennial cultivar known for its elegant double flowers in soft, powdery blue shades, which bloom in late spring to early summer. The delicate flowers rise above finely divided, bluish-green foliage, adding a graceful texture and colour contrast to borders, cottage gardens, or woodland plantings. This variety attracts pollinators such as bees and butterflies, supporting garden biodiversity while providing long-lasting ornamental appeal. 'Blue Barlow' is hardy, easy to grow from seed or young plants, and may self-seed to form naturalised clumps over time. Regular deadheading can help prolong the flowering display, and it thrives in well-drained soil with full sun to partial shade.
