Description
Bring a vibrant splash of colour to your garden with Columbine McKana Hybrids Mix (Aquilegia). This stunning mix showcases a variety of two-toned, nodding blooms in shades of blue, red, yellow, and white, each with delicate spurred petals that add an intricate, airy touch to garden displays. Blooming from late spring through early summer, McKana Hybrids create a spectacular show, perfect for borders, cottage gardens, and wildlife-friendly spaces.
McKana Hybrids are especially well-suited for British gardens, thriving in the UK’s temperate climate. They prefer full sun to partial shade and grow best in well-drained, fertile soil enriched with organic matter. Reaching a height of 60-90 cm with a spread of 30-40 cm, this mix adds vertical interest and blends seamlessly with other spring and early summer perennials.
Their charming flowers are a magnet for pollinators, bringing bees and butterflies to your garden and supporting local biodiversity. Low-maintenance and hardy, Columbine McKana Hybrids return year after year, providing reliable colour with minimal effort.
Supplied as bare root plants, they establish well when planted in spring (March/April), ensuring strong growth and a vivid display throughout their blooming season. Choose Columbine McKana Hybrids Mix for a lively and enduring addition that brings both beauty and ecological benefits to your garden.
