Aquilegia Songbird Series Blue Jay - Columbine

Perennial plants, highly valued in gardens, columbines require a light, humus-rich soil that is consistently moist, where they colonize the area with their spontaneous self seeding. They can tolerate heavy soils, but do not live for very long in them. Some alpine varieties are difficult to cultivate.

First-generation horticultural hybrids (F1 hybrids), with very large flowers measuring 7 to 9 cm (3 to 4in) in length and a long flowering period. Easy to grow in any good, fresh, and well-drained soil. Spontaneous self seeding does not produce true offspring. In the 'Blue Jay' variety, the flowers are dark blue with a white corolla.
