Aquilegia buergeriana
‘Calimero’
at Digging Dog
Columbine
This genus deserves its lofty names, which mean
“eagle” and “dove,”
because its intricate flowers have been said to
resemble birds in flight. Beyond the symbolism of the
flowers, the finely textured, widely varied species possess
a gracefulness that is likely to carry you to heights
of enjoyment. Whether delicate dwarfs or bold,
long-spurred varieties, Columbines are characterized
by fernlike three-lobed leaves. They are best suited
for naturalizing in a semishaded woodland, but the smaller species will thrive in a rock garden with
some shade. Aquilegia buergeriana ‘Calimero’ 
Dangling like delicate Japanese lanterns, the
plum and soft yellow blossoms are topped with wispy,
tapered spurs that curve inward. Like an ideal
small-space ornament, this compact Aquilegia offers a
demure mound of foliage and arresting colors.
Blooms May–mid-June. Size: 8" high x 8"–10" wide; hardy to zone 6. Aquilegia buergeriana Calimero (P-0918)
