Certain to become the favorite color in the Clementine series, these big, double-flowered blooms of richest blue hold their heads up high over a long mid-spring through midsummer season. The Clementine series is the most floriferous Columbine we have ever grown, and it deserves a place of honor (and a large planting!) in your partly shaded garden this season.

Self-sowing freely, this plant is unpalatable to rabbits and deer, and asks only for an autumn shearing to return bushier and more bloom-happy than before. A magnet for butterflies and hummingbirds, it is a cutflower lover's dream. 'Clementine Blue' is one of those hybrids that, when introduced, puts all previous varieties to shame with its improved habit, abundant flowering, bright colors, and ease of care. Enjoy! Zones 3-9.
