Aquilegia ‘Ruby Port’ Columbine

Aquilegia vulgaris ‘Ruby Port’ is an heirloom variety dating back to the 1600’s. Commonly referred to as Columbine, this elegant plant has double, spurless blooms of rich claret red held high above ferny, blue-green foliage. This long blooming columbine flowers in late spring and attracts butterflies, hummingbirds, and plant enthusiasts. Reaching heights of 24 inches to 36 inches, the blooms can easily be used in cut flower arrangements.

Aquilegia ‘Ruby Port’ prefers partial shade along with well-drained soil. Once established, the plant is considered drought tolerant. This Aquilegia does self-sow and can form large colonies. With such attractive blooms, it is no wonder this variety has continued to be grown for centuries!
