Aquilegia caerulea 'Crystal Star' | Crystal Star Columbine

$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Aquilegia caerulea 'Crystal Star' produces upward-facing flowers with white outer petals surrounding soft buttery-yellow inner petals and long, elegant spurs, blooming from late spring into early summer. Blue-green leaves are finely divided into rounded leaflets, creating a delicate, fern-like mound with a soft texture through the season. The flowers rise above the foliage on slender stems, their open, star-like form adding movement while attracting hummingbirds and pollinators during the bloom period.

Originating from a species native to the Rocky Mountain regions of North America, this cultivar reflects garden selection focused on refined flower form and luminous coloration. It is well suited to cottage gardens, borders, and woodland plantings, where its graceful flowering habit contributes seasonal interest.
