Add item to quote to see pricing

Aquilegia vulgaris 'Black Barlow' is a mesmerizing perennial lauded for its unique allure. Belonging to the distinguished Ranunculaceae family, this magnificent Columbine variant showcases almost noir-like, double blossoms that intertwine the romance of a moonlit night with the mystery of an exotic star—a true head-turner in any landscape. The blooms majestically grace long, slender stems, towering 60-90cm high, and are contrasted by a luxurious carpet of fern-like, light green leaves. Factoring in its penchant for partial shade and reasonably moist, well-drained soil, it's an ideal addition for enhancing the mystical allure of your border or creating a tranquil retreat in your cottage-style garden. But the delight doesn't stop with its hypnotic aesthetic—the 'Black Barlow' also galvanizes the local ecosystem by attracting bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. Moderate water usage and resilience against semi-shady environments make this plant not only a visually stimulating choice but a practical one as well.
