ColumbineCrimsonStar.jpg (20037 bytes) Aquilegia is a well-known group of plants that is a favorite for gardeners of all ages. The flower, both in bud and at maturity, is a splendid curiosity, and can be appreciated both indoors and out. The wide color range of the genus has also contributed to its popularity. A rich, well drained soil will yield the best results. 'Crimson Star' is a large-flowering hybrid with bright red coloring. Aquilegia self-sows freely; plant a wide variety of plants and see what interesting natural hybrids may develop. These vigorous plants will bloom the second year.
