Aquilegia 'Nora Barlow' Seeds
(Granny's Bonnet)
A true icon of the cottage garden, 'Nora Barlow' is one of the most unique and beautiful Granny's Bonnets you can grow. Unlike typical aquilegias, it produces exquisite, fully double, pom-pom-like flowers that are spur-less. Each bloom is a wonderful raspberry-pink, tipped with white and green. This hardy perennial will self-seed politely, adding elegance and charm to your borders for years to come.
The bees adore them, and they make excellent cut flowers too. Deadhead regularly if you don't want them to self-seed.
Germination can be erratic and slow. Sometimes a period of cold stratification is needed, so it can help to put the seeds in the fridge for a week or so before sowing.
