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)
Each $7.25

As Summer draws to a close....
September is a transitory month in the garden. As summer’s end approaches, the shadows are growing longer and the days are becoming shorter. This time of year may find some landscapes a tad lackluster. When designing your garden, you may wish to include plants that remain perky thoughout the season or experience their heyday now. The plants featured in this newsletter provide a lot of late season oomph and promise to beckon you down the pathways of your garden.
Our next guided Saturday Stroll is September 16th., followed by October 7th. We hope you’ll come visit us this summer. Digging Dog's Early September 2017 Newsletter Link
