This distinctive Columbine will stand out from the crowd in your early summer borders. Gleaming white and vivid scarlet blooms with long spurs make an eye-catching combination. This is sport of the similar variety Aquilegia ‘Red Hobbit’, which has been selected for its taller habit. The upright stems make this an excellent cut flower. Aquilegias ‘Red Dream’ is a reliable perennial, retuning year after year. A lovely choice for dotting through the front of cottage garden borders and wildlife gardens, where its blooms always attract pollinating insects. Height: 70cm (28"). Spread: 45cm (18").

Pot up aquilegia plants and grow them on in frost free conditions until large enough to plant outdoors. Grow aquilegias in sun or part shade in any fertile, moist, well drained soil.
Columbines hybridize readily. If seedlings are not wanted, deadhead faded aquilegia flowers to prevent them self seeding. Aquilegias dislike disturbance but overcrowded clumps may be lifted and divided in spring when necessary.Caution: irritant to skin and eyes, harmful if eaten.

Van Meuwen strives to ensure that all its plants are delivered to you in the perfect condition for planting. While the majority of our nursery plants cope well with slight delays in intransit, sadly, the time it takes to deliver to certain locations in the UK means that we can't guarantee this for some of our smaller plug products and tender bedding and vegetable lines, which do not respond well to the extra journey time. So regretfully while we offer the majority of our live plant offering nationwide, we are unable to ship plugs, begging plants and tender vegetable plants to the following areas: HS, IV41-IV49, IV51, IV55-56, KW15-KW17, PA34, PA41-48, PA60-PA78, PA80, PH40-PH44, TR21-TR24, ZE1-ZE3.
