AQUILEGIAS 

Welcome

 

Aquilegias have been popular garden plants for many centuries.  In particular, unusual colours and double forms are most sought after. There are very many species available as well as cultivars.  At the time of writing (April 2013) there are two National Plant Collections of Aquilegias, listed in Plant Heritage's Collections Directory, both are at Touchwood in Swansea, South Wales, UK.
