This exceptional columbine selection produces an abundant flush of exquisite bicolor blooms in a dreamy combination of soft rose-pink petals and creamy white inner cups, each flower suspended on slender, graceful stems that nod and dance in the spring breeze with an effortless, fairy-tale charm. The distinctive spurred blooms have the intricate, origami-like structure that gives the Kirigami™ series its inspired name — each flower a tiny architectural masterpiece of nature's most refined design work.
Part of the award-winning Kirigami™ series, bred specifically for exceptional garden performance and uniformity, 'Rose & Pink' delivers a more prolific and longer-lasting bloom display than older columbine varieties, with a compact, well-branched habit that keeps it looking beautiful throughout the entire spring season. The attractive, blue-green ferny foliage remains ornamental long after the blooms have faded, providing a lovely soft texture in the border through summer. A magnet for hummingbirds drawn irresistibly to those elegant nectar spurs, this is a plant that brings joy, movement, and life to the spring garden in equal measure.
