Columbine - Barlow Mix

~35 Seeds

 
Elegant clematis-style blooms in a stunning colour palette.

This mix features charming, star-shaped flowers with layered, pointed petals that resemble miniature clematis. The fully double, spurless 1 1/2" blooms face upward or nod gently, appearing in late spring of the second year from a spring sowing. Perfect for cutting, these flowers have strong, straight stems and provide an excellent transition between early spring and summer arrangements.

Each stem produces multiple blooms in a harmonious blend of Victorian shades, including rose, violet, deep wine red, dark purple, and white. Varieties include Aline Fairweather, Black Barlow, Blue Barlow, Bordeaux Barlow, Miss M.I. Huish, Nora Barlow, White Barlow, and Christa. A favorite among hummingbirds.
