Aquilegia ‘Lime Sorbet’ in 1 Gallon Pot

Description

Aquilegia vulgaris ‘Lime Sorbet’ is a perennial columbine cultivar known for its distinctive double, lime-green to creamy white flowers. Blooming in late spring to early summer, it adds a unique colour palette to the garden. The plant reaches a height of approximately 60 to 90 cm (24 to 36 inches) and spreads about 30 cm (12 inches) wide. Hardy in USDA zones 3 through 8, ‘Lime Sorbet’ thrives in full sun to partial shade. In regions with hot summers, providing some afternoon shade is beneficial. It prefers moist, well-drained soil and is relatively low-maintenance. While the plant is generally short-lived, it self-seeds readily, ensuring its presence in the garden for years to come. This cultivar is also known for its resistance to deer and rabbits, making it a suitable choice for gardens where these animals are prevalent.
