It flowers the first year from young plants, in late spring into early summer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt about two feet tall, it suits borders, containers and cottage gardens, and it naturalizes beautifully in partly shaded woodland borders. The flowers last up to two weeks in a vase. Hummingbirds, bees and butterflies visit, and rabbits tend to leave it alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat it looks like\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLarge, upward-facing flowers 2.5 to 3 inches across with five dark indigo blue, pointed, petal-like sepals and long, slender, backward-sweeping blue spurs, surrounding a cup of crisp white petals and a tuft of yellow stamens. Flowers sit on upright, branching stems above the foliage. Leaves are soft green, lobed and fan-like, in a low basal mound. The plant is upright, 22 to 24 inches tall and 16 to 20 inches wide. At peak bloom many blue-and-white flowers face the sky above the mound.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eGrowing it with lavender\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eColumbine likes more moisture and some shade compared with lavender, so give it a spot in a partly shaded border or woodland edge, where it blooms in late spring before lavender begins.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGrow in full sun to part shade in average, well-drained soil with regular moisture; afternoon shade extends the bloom. Hardy in USDA zones 4-9. Deadhead spent flowers to tidy the plant, or leave a few to self-sow; cut back tired foliage after bloom to get a fresh flush of leaves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aquilegia caerulea\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlower color:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dark indigo blue and white\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFoliage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Soft green\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Upright clump over a basal mound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMature size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 22–24 in tall × 16–20 in wide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUSDA hardiness zones:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4–9\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight:\u003c\/strong\u003e full sun, part sun to part shade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloom start:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mid-May\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePeak bloom:\u003c\/strong\u003e Late-May\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloom pattern:\u003c\/strong\u003e Single Flush\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDeer resistance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderately resistant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePollinator value:\u003c\/strong\u003e Great\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSizes and shipping\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne full 72-cell plug tray: 72 young starter plugs of this variety (cells about 1⅓ in. wide × 2½ in. deep), rooted and ready to pot up into quarts or gallons.
