Aquilegia vulgaris 'Crimson Star' (Crimson Star Columbine)

Crimson Star Columbine (Aquilegia vulgaris 'Crimson Star') is a striking herbaceous perennial admired for its vibrant crimson-red flowers with contrasting white centres and elegant, elongated spurs. Blooming from late spring to early summer, the eye-catching flowers are held above delicate, fern-like green foliage, bringing bold colour and graceful texture to cottage gardens, woodland settings, and mixed perennial borders. The nectar-rich blooms are highly attractive to bees, butterflies, and other beneficial pollinators.

Hardy and easy to grow, Crimson Star Columbine thrives in full sun to part shade and prefers fertile, well-drained soil. Its upright, clump-forming habit makes it ideal for borders, containers, and naturalistic plantings, where it provides reliable seasonal colour with minimal maintenance. Combining dramatic flowers, refined foliage, and excellent garden performance, Crimson Star Columbine is a beautiful addition to any landscape.
