Aquilegia vulgaris var. stellata Nora Barlow
Grannys Bonnet - Columbine
Description
Aquilegia vulgaris var. stellata 'Nora Barlow' is a delightful columbine, loved for its unique, double, spurless flowers. The blooms are usually a mix of pink, green, and sometimes white, creating an eye-catching display.
