Aquilegia Red Hobbit

Red petals and spurs with a white corolla. Aquilegia 'Red Hobbit' is lovely in the garden or as a cut flower. A more compact Granny's Bonnet that hails from the Rockies so copes with sun and poor soil better than most. It will also grow more true to type from seed than many varieties.
Aquilegias are a cottage garden essential with sweet flowers and delightfully lacy foliage. Aquilegia's elegant, fern like leaves are a rare blue-green colour and are a beautiful foil for the fading spring flowering bulbs.

Aquilegias thrive in light to moderate shade, though; with sufficient moisture will tolerate full sun. Aquilegia should be planted in moist, well drained, humus rich soil.

After the initial flowering has finished, you can cut the stems back to the basal foliage and fertilise for a second flush of flowers. You can choose to leave the last flowers of the season to form seed heads for future generations of plants. Seedlings are unlikely to flower true to type as they hybridise easily
