Description
The beautiful Aquilegia Earlybird Red and White is a compact, clump-forming perennial that produces eye-catching bi-colour blooms. Its rich red outer petals contrast elegantly with the crisp white inner petals, all brought together by a vibrant yellow stamen. With upright stems, this variety makes a striking feature in both garden borders and containers.
This charming plant is a standout herbaceous perennial and remains one of my favourites to grow. It's wonderfully low maintenance and, with just a little care, rewards you with an abundance of stunning spring flowers.
Aquilegia Earlybird thrives in partial shade to full sun and prefers well-drained, consistently moist soil. Be sure to space plants around 10 inches apart to encourage good airflow and help prevent fungal problems. Once established, it becomes moderately drought-tolerant, but for the best results, regular watering and a bit of loving care will keep it blooming beautifully.
