Sheila's Review
Location: Yonkers, NY
Hardiness Zone: 6
This plant was the most hearty and beautiful display ever!! Spring of 2008. I am now back for more.
Customer Rating:
(Columbine) Aquilegia 'Dorothy Rose' has exquisite rose-pink flowers which are displayed high above glaucous-blue foliage. The unique hose-in-hose style blooms of 'Dorothy Rose' looks like several flowers set inside of each other, resembling a ruffled ballerina's dress. Resistant to deer and rabbits.

Homeowner Growing & Maintenance Tips:
Columbine should be planted in partial shade areas in southern climates. They can tolerate full sun in the north, although light shade will prolong their flowering time. They grow very easily in loose, average to rich, well-drained soil. In the fall, columbine should be cut back to their basal foliage. Remove only the dead leaves in the spring. Columbine can sometimes be affected by leaf miners. If this happens, remove and destroy all the leaves affected by the leaf miners. Columbines do not require mulching unless they are planted in beds with wide open exposures. Propagation should be done by seed rather than by division.
