Sowing Period

This unusual aquilegia variety features delicate, nodding, chocolate-brown, 1.5cm ( frac12;") blooms from late spring onwards. The neatly compact plants are perfect for growing in borders and rockeries. A collector's item. Flowers May-July. Height 20-30cm (8-12"); spread 10-20cm (4-8").

Growing Information

Sow thinly in a tray using a good quality compost and cover with a thin layer of vermiculite. Seal the tray in a clear plastic bag and keep on a sunny windowsill at 15-20ºC, do not exclude light as this helps germination. (Germination 1-3 months). When big enough to handle, pot on into individual 7.5cm (3") pots and gradually acclimatise to outside conditions before planting out after the last frost at 30cm (12") spacings. Alternatively, sow September-October and overwinter in a cold frame or cold greenhouse and plant out the following spring.

Live Plants

Suttons strives to ensure that all its plants are delivered to you in the perfect condition for planting. While the majority of our nursery plants cope well with slight delays in intransit, sadly, the time it takes to deliver to certain locations in the UK means that we can't guarantee this for some of our smaller plug products and tender bedding and vegetable lines, which do not respond well to the extra journey time. So regretfully while we offer the majority of our live plant offering nationwide, we are unable to ship plugs, begging plants and tender vegetable plants to the following areas: HS, IV41-IV49, IV51, IV55-56, KW15-KW17, PA34, PA41-48, PA60-PA78, PA80, PH40-PH44, TR21-TR24, ZE1-ZE3.

Non Standard Deliveries

Unfortunately like many companies in our industry we are currently only able to supply orders to UK based customers, excluding those in Northern Ireland. We are committed to finding a way that we can resume or normal services again as soon as possible. Please accept our apologies for any inconvience caused.

Very Large items

If ordering any large items marked large lorry items  a surcharge of £5 per item will be applied. These items are also not available to areas and postcodes shown under non standard deliveries. We may need to contact you regarding delivery so please provide a contact number with all orders.

We reserve the right to contact you and advise an additional charge where necessary and are happy to quote for carriage of specific products to more remote areas. Some items may not be available to all areas.
