Product description

Showcasing incredibly intricate, ruffled, violet-blue pom-poms that nod gently on thin, branching stems, this spurless selection adds a delicate, cool-toned elegance to partially shaded woodland environments. The glaucous, bluish-green foliage acts as a brilliant, water-repellent backdrop that creates structural contrast in softer, leaf-heavy garden borders. The fully double flowers look like tiny, hovering dahlias and create a captivating visual display that peaks in early summer.

You must routinely and carefully inspect the undersides of the delicate, lobed leaves for tiny green columbine sawfly larvae; these voracious pests can completely strip the foliage and skeletonize an entire clump within a matter of days. Brush them off manually or apply a targeted organic spray to prevent rapid defoliation. Apply a generous layer of organic mulch around the base of the plant to keep the shallow root system cool and hydrated, and ensure it receives dappled sunlight rather than harsh midday glare to prevent the violet blooms from fading out.

Please Note: When purchasing plants, please consider that each live item is unique and may therefore differ from the images shown, which are for illustration purposes only. The plant will be supplied in a growers pot. Depending on season, some plants may be pruned back to encourage growth and deciduous plants may arrive without leaves.
