Aquilegias are also known as Columbines or Granny's Bonnets. They are a hardy perennial plant suitable for Temperate to cooler climates. They can be grown in warmer areas but they may suffer from Mildew, a fungal disease caused by humidity. These plants are one of my favourites, growing naturally in Meadows of the Northern Hemishphere. I love the shape of the flowers and the amazing colours. Here in Sydney, they are just starting to grow after the dormant winter period. Mine have only just started to grow their first leaves. There are quite a few varieties, ranging from taller plants around 60 cm to smaller ones around 20 cm high. Plant them in a semi-shaded sheltered spot, under some trees or in pots. I have seen some great plants in Sydney, but since they are not flowering here, i had to borrow this image from a grower's website.
