Aquilegia vulgaris William Guinness - Granny's Bonnet, Columbine

Also know as Magpie, this variety is something special. Extraordinary, purple-black flowers with contrasting white centres in late spring and early summer above fern-like, mid green leaves. The unusual flowers of this old fashioned variety of columbine are guaranteed to create an eye catching display. Although short lived, given well-drained, moisture retentive soil, the plant self seeds freely. Supplied in 1 litre containers.
