Sowing, Seeds, Planting	Plant in an area with moist but well-drained soil.

Sprinkle mycorrhizal fungi (Rootgrow) into the base of the planting hole and water well after planting.
Care Tips	Cut back leaves in autumn. Aquilegias can self seed in the right conditions, to prevent this cut down after flowering.
Flowering	May - July
Vase Life	Sear stem ends in boiling water for 10 seconds to maximise vase life.
Harvesting	Flower production: 2-3 months.

If we want to preserve our native butterflies, we need to grow the right plants in our gardens to encourage them.

Aquilegias are invaluable for flowering in May and early June when there is suprisingly little colour in the garden.
