Produktbeschreibung
A highly striking, traditional garden favourite characterised by its large, dramatic bi-coloured flowers featuring bold, crimson-red outer sepals and pure white, inner corolla tubes. The elongated, backward-reaching nectar spurs give the blooms a dynamic, aerodynamic, shooting-star appearance that is highly magnetic to long-tongued pollinators. It offers a classic, vintage cottage charm and provides a brilliant, bright focal point in the dappled light of early summer.
To replicate its native, highly fertile forest-floor habitat, you must thoroughly amend the planting site with rich, crumbly leaf mould or well-rotted compost before settling the root ball into the earth. It is crucial to keep the soil consistently moist but never waterlogged. If the leaves become disfigured by winding, white trails caused by leaf-miner insects, do not panic; simply cut the entire mound of foliage flush to the ground, dispose of the infected leaves, and the plant will rapidly push up a fresh, pristine flush of green growth.
Please Note: When purchasing plants, please consider that each live item is unique and may therefore differ from the images shown, which are for illustration purposes only. The plant will be supplied in a growers pot. Depending on season, some plants may be pruned back to encourage growth and deciduous plants may arrive without leaves.
Größenberater für Gartenpflanzen
Pflanzen in größeren Töpfen sind oft mehrere Jahre älter als Exemplare in kleineren Gefäßen und verfügen über ein bereits besser ausgeprägtes Wurzelsystem sowie dichteres Laub. Dadurch entwickeln sie sich im Garten deutlich schneller zu einer stattlichen Pracht als kleinere Alternativen.
Die gängigsten Topfgrößen für Gartenpflanzen sind 9cm, 1L, 3L und 5L – diese Angaben beziehen sich auf den Durchmesser am oberen Topfrand oder das Fassungsvermögen.
Pflanzen im 9cm-Topf sind nach wie vor die beliebteste und preiswerteste Option. Hier ist lediglich etwas Geduld gefragt, bis die Gewächse nach dem Auspflanzen ihre volle Größe und Reife erreichen.

Anleitung
Profi-Tipp
Allow a few of the striking red and white flowers to set seed if you want to expand your colony. These seeds will drop naturally and germinate in the surrounding soil with zero effort on your part. Carefully transplant these tiny Aquilegia Crimson Star seedlings to new locations once they develop their first true leaves.
Richtig gießen
Provide supplemental water whenever the surrounding ground feels dry to the knuckle. A slow, gentle soaking is highly preferable to a harsh blast from a garden hose. Ensure the area drains adequately so the Aquilegia Crimson Star does not sit in stagnant puddles.
Richtig pflanzen
Locate a spot nestled under taller shrubs to provide a protective, shady canopy. Mix a generous helping of compost into the native soil to boost its water-holding capacity. Place the Aquilegia Crimson Star into the hole and backfill carefully to avoid snapping the brittle roots.
