Aquilegias are charming, old-fashioned cottage garden plants with bonnet-shaped flowers, often two-tone and with long graceful spurs. Flowering in early summer, they fill the seasonal gap between the last of the spring bulbs and the first of the summer flowers. Self-sown aquilegias look wonderful naturalised amongst shrubs and roses.

Aquilegia 'Texas Yellow' creates a big statement in a border. Its tall stalks carry an abundance of outward-facing, large, bright lemon-yellow flowers with long spurs. It's ideal for growing in ornamental borders, particularly in cottage-garden schemes, where it thrives in sun or partial shade.

Aquilegia 'Texas Yellow' makes an excellent cut flower.
