Description

Fluttering blue blooms over a compact habit.

Bisected grey-green leaves are bushy below 12" tall stems that carry the nodding, 2–3" blue and white flowers. Blooms begin in late spring and persist into the summer; also ideal for adding colour to the rock garden just after your spring bulbs have finished. Often this columbine will rebloom in the fall.

Important Shipping Notes:

Breck's times its shipments from Holland so that bulbs and bareroots arrive at the proper planting time (depending on climatic conditions) for each area of North America. To promote optimum stress protection in transit and your success in the garden, bareroot perennials are kept in the ground in our nurseries until fully dormant. In the Fall, these plants tend to arrive at the later end of the shipping window below.

We will pack and ship your order based on the following schedules. The type of product you order or the weather may affect the anticipated shipping schedule below. Based on the contents of your order we always strive to ship your order complete, and as early as possible in the planting season to allow for the best root development once planted.
