Can anyone identify this Aquilegia?
« 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?

 Welcome!  It may just be a bit starved - or a hybrid?  Mind you, I've been beaten up on aquilegia names  before!! ;) ::) :-X

Looks like Aquilegia longissima which is naturally much more dainty than chrysantha.
