Aquilegia 'Munstead White'

This specially selected Gertrude Jeckyll Aquilegia has stood the test of time. The elegant, bright white flowers stand tall, above the foliage and have lovely long spurs. Each bloom is around 4cm across and they open freely late spring to early summer. Selected from her garden, Munstead Wood around a century ago.

Aquilegia ‘Munstead White’ holds the prestigious RHS Award of Garden Merit so you know it can be relied upon and will look good in the garden. It is occasionally labelled as Aquilegia ‘Nivea’.

Aquilegias really are a cottage garden essential with their sweet flowers and delightfully lacy foliage. It is hard to show how really amazing they are, you really need to try them for yourself.
Aquilegias are an elegant foil for the fading foliage of the spring bulbs, as their new foliage starts growing in early spring when the bulbs are going into senescence.
The Aquilegia are suitable for growing in a lightly shaded to morning sun position. You could plant them in borders, as massed plantings, in beds or in containers.
After the initial flowering has finished, you can cut the stems back to the basal foliage and add some fertiliser to encourage more blooms. You can leave the last flowers of the season to form seed heads for future generations of plants, keeping in mind seedlings are unlikely to flower true to type as Aquilegias hybridise easily.
