Description

The first green flowered Aquilegia with this spectacular Clematis-like flower formation. The buds open in a delightful lime-green shade, fading to a sumptuous apple-green before ageing to a gentle cream. Makes an interesting feature for borders.

Sowing Instructions

Sow seed on the surface of lightly firmed, moist seed sowing mix in pots or trays. Do not cover the seed. Seal container inside a plastic bag and keep at a temperature of between 15-20C (59-68F). After sowing, do not exclude light as this helps germination. Keep the surface of the mix moist but not waterlogged; germination can take 1 to 3 months.

Sometimes slow to germinate. If no germination after 8 weeks, pre-chill for 3 weeks.

Growing Instructions

When large enough to handle, transplant seedlings into 7.5cm (3 inch) pots or trays. Plant out once plants are well grown, 23-30cm (9 to 12 inches) apart, after last spring frost and at least 8 weeks before first fall frost.

Aftercare Instructions

For best results, provide any ordinary, well-drained soil in full sun.

Caution

Harmful if eaten.
