Description

Add a striking touch of colour and charm to your garden with Columbine Winky Red and White (Aquilegia). This eye-catching variety is known for its unique bicolour blooms – bright red outer petals beautifully contrasted by crisp white centres. Flowering from late spring to early summer, these elegant nodding flowers are perfect for creating a cottage garden feel or adding interest to mixed borders.

Columbine Winky Red and White (Aquilegia) is generally shorter than many traditional columbine varieties. While some columbines, such as Aquilegia vulgaris, can reach heights of up to 60-80 cm or even taller, the Winky series is more compact, typically growing to about 30-45 cm in height. This makes it an excellent choice for the front of borders, small garden spaces, or containers, where a shorter, bushier plant is preferred.

This columbine thrives in full sun to partial shade and adapts well to a range of well-drained soils enriched with organic matter.

Aside from its visual appeal, Winky Red and White attracts bees and other pollinators, supporting garden biodiversity. Supplied as bare root plants, they are easy to establish when planted in spring and will reward you with a reliable display year after year.

Choose Columbine Winky Red and White for a garden that bursts with vibrant colours and classic charm, bringing life and movement to your outdoor space.
