{"product_id":"aquilegia-vulgaris","title":"Perennial | Aquilegia vulgaris (Columbine)","description":"\u003ch4\u003ePlant Info\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAquilegia vulgaris, commonly known as Columbine, is a graceful perennial that produces delicate, nodding flowers in shades of blue, purple, pink, white, and burgundy from late spring to early summer. It is a favourite of bees, hummingbirds, and other pollinators, adding both beauty and wildlife value to the garden. Its soft, graceful foliage forms attractive clumps that provide texture even after the flowers have faded. Columbine readily self-seeds in favourable conditions, creating natural looking drifts that return year after year without becoming too aggressive. It grows best in cooler conditions with moist, well-drained soil and appreciates some afternoon shade in warmer climates. All parts of the plant are considered toxic if ingested and may cause stomach upset and other symptoms in people, cats, and dogs, so it should not be eaten.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eGrowing Info\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMature height: 2 feet\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMature spread: 1-2 feet\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWatering needs: Prefers  evenly moist, loose, well draining soils.

The coco liner on top of the soil reduces moisture loss and prevents the growth of weeds within the pot. It is 100% organic coconut fiber and has no synthetic materials. When planting, you can keep the liner below the plant and it will break down and enhance the soil over time. Please do not bury the liner in the soil or under mulch. Only apply mulch up to the soil liner.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stranded Nursery \u0026 Gardens","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49894036144357,"sku":"2LP-AQUVUL","price":12.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0744\/1540\/7333\/files\/PXL-20260625_151517521.jpg?v=1782403720","url":"https:\/\/strandednursery.ca\/products\/aquilegia-vulgaris","provider":"Stranded Nursery \u0026 Gardens","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
