Aquilegia vulgaris 'William Guinness'

  • Product number: 574385
  • Origin: Europe
  • Latin: Aquilegia vulgaris

Those who love deep and dark colours will surely succumb to this beautiful variety. The bright white sepals contrast wonderfully with the chocolate brown spurs and petals. Give them a semi-shady, humus-rich spot and the reward will be diligent flowering from April-August on sturdy, 75 cm high stems.

Typical for the flower shape are the petals with short or long spurs and the single or double sepals.

Names:
Latin: Aquilegia vulgaris
