Aquilegia chrysantha ‘Golden Queen’ is quite simply one of the most beautiful Aquilegias. With mounds of mid-green, maidenhair-like foliage and large, soft golden-yellow flowers. The large blooms, each with long swept back spurs are upward facing and can measure up to 7cm (3in) across. They are produced generously, several to a stem, in early summer.

This superb and reliable Aquilegia variety makes an ideal cut flower. Excellent for rock gardens, perennial beds and borders, this easy to grow plant is adaptable to sun or part shade, in hotter areas it prefers at least a little protection in dappled sunlight. They are perfect for an informal or cottage garden environment.

This is one plant that is guaranteed to create a stunning display.
