Aquilegia vulgaris 'Bordeaux Barlow' - 2026

Aquilegia vulgaris 'Bordeaux Barlow' is an elegant perennial cultivar featuring richly coloured double flowers in deep burgundy-red shades that bloom in late spring to early summer. The striking flowers rise above finely divided, bluish-green foliage, creating a beautiful contrast and adding vertical interest to borders, cottage gardens, and mixed perennial plantings. This variety is attractive to pollinators like bees and butterflies, supporting biodiversity while providing a long-lasting display of vibrant colour. Hardy and easy to grow from seed or young plants, 'Bordeaux Barlow' may self-seed to form clumps over time, enhancing naturalised areas. Deadheading spent blooms can extend the flowering period, and it thrives in well-drained soil with full sun to partial shade.
