Columbine, Mrs. Scott Elliot, Aquilegia caerulea  

Sow this cottage garden heirloom from mid-Summer to January for blooms the following Spring.   This is the traditional lavender and white columbine with long lavender spurs, atop strong, thin 24-30” stems and lacy foliage.  It blooms prolifically for up to two months, readily reseeds itself and needs no trellising.   Columbine attracts bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds and is a mainstay of the perennial garden.  This is one of the earliest, most reliable cut flowers on our farm.  FLA.
