Title: Can anyone identify this Aquilegia?
Post by: chrissyboi on September 01, 2015, 04:04:42 PM: I picked this up at the Duthue Park show and have lost the label. The Spurs are 2.5cm long and it's not lush enough for chrysantha, although it's been grown quite hard in a clay pot. The whole plant is very spindly and dainty. Help?
