Aquilegia

#Aquilegia pretty in #pink

Am I the only one who has trouble with #aquilegia ?? They seem so delicate an don't ofte flower more than once!? Pity as they look amazing 👎🏼

They are biennials and self seed. So unfortunately only one year of flowers, the 2nd year.

@divdiv8 #aquilegia Maybe you're cutting down the plant after it flowers. As it's a biennial you need to leave it to seed if you want more flowers. Either leave the plants in situ or collect the seed heads and scatter yourself. I prefer to leave the plants until they naturally throw their seeds. It's easy to pull out any you don't want after they grow. An added bonus is they sometimes throw up an unusual colour through cross pollination. Hope this helps

Do you know the variety of this one - it's a beauty!

@franshinegee I don't I'm afraid, it was here with the house and hoping it reappears every year
