Aquilegia jonesii

Sorry! No longer available.

This elusive rock-garden plant is a native of the Rockies, where it thrives in limestone outcroppings and cool crevices. Tidy and diminutive, it grows up to only 3-4 inches. The large royal-blue flowers bloom in June-July and hover an inch or two above a dense rosette of green-grey leaves. Does best in well-drained soil, in a sheltered area where it is protected from wet winters. Zone 4.
