Aquilegia chrysantha ‘Yellow Queen’
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 chrysantha ‘Yellow Queen’ 
As if in flight, ‘Yellow Queen’s
long outward-curving spurs trail behind its
cheerful, bright yellow flowers. Soaring on tall slender
stems above bushy and bluish green, fernlike foliage,
the upfacing, fragrant blooms are good-sized and
abundant. Owing its vigor and floriferous nature to
its wild southwestern cousin, Aquilegia
chrysantha, this cultivar makes a sunny partner for the lush purple leaves of Anthriscus ‘Ravenswing’.
Blooms April–May. Size: 2-1/2' high x 15" wide; hardy to zone 4. Aquilegia chrysantha ‘Yellow Queen’ (P-1168)

" Dainty blooms and unfurling leaves forge an early spring treasure trove of color and texture.
In the last ten days, we’ve experienced all kinds of weather at Digging Dog, including frosty mornings, torrential downpours, deafening hail, glorious sunny 70 º afternoons and even sleet! Thankfully spring is almost here and signs of its arrival grow more evident every day. Brimming with possibility, youthful growth and pristine delicacy, the early spring garden is a fresh treasure trove of color and texture. The plants featured in this newsletter caught my eye while walking through the nursery and along the surrounding borders. Hopefully, a handful of them will spark your interest as well! All of us here at the nursery wish you a very happy spring and countless happy afternoons digging in a garden! Digging Dog's mid March 2017 Newsletter Link"
