Aquilegia Swan Series Collection

The 'Swan Series' (aka State Series) is a superior, midsized strain of Aquilegia that flower well without the need for the really cold weather that most Aquilegia require. They have been selectively bred for larger, more prolific flowers over compact, dense yet dainty foliage. The blooms are more upward facing, to best show their beauty and the long stems mean they’re good for picking.
Aquilegias are an elegant foil for the fading foliage of spring flowering bulbs, as their new growth starts in early spring, and is up in time for when the bulbs are going into senescence.
The Aquilegia 'Swan Series' is suitable for growing in a lightly shaded to morning sun position. You could plant them in borders, as massed plantings, in beds or in containers.
After the initial flowering has finished, you can cut the stems back to the basal foliage and add some fertiliser to encourage more blooms. You can leave the last flowers of the season to form seed heads for future generations of plants, seedlings may not flower true to type as Aquilegias hybridise easily.
Aquilegias really are a cottage garden essential with sweet flowers and delightful lacy foliage. It is hard to show how really amazing they are, you need to try them for yourself.
Collection, one of each variety, separately labelled. Includes Colorado, Georgia, Montana, Virginia and Louisiana.
