Aquilegia Earlybird Purple Blue (Columbine), a compact perennial prized for its vivid hues and neatly mounded habit, bears an abundance of long-spurred, vivid purple and sky blue blooms. The blossoms are borne on relatively short stems and rise gracefully above the lacy, sharply cut leaves. They bloom profusely in late spring to early summer. This columbine, known for its regulated habit, is typically short-lived but will self-seed in the landscape under favorable growing conditions. Excellent for both containers and the landscape. The flowers will also keep their beauty in cut bouquets for a long time.
