Aquilegia vulgaris 'Black Barlow'



Aquilegia vulgaris 'Black Barlow'
Like Aquilegia 'Nora Barton' (link), 'Black Barlow' has fullsome double flowers, only they're nearly black rather than pink. This is a very striking variety, especially when contrasted with white or yellow Aquilegias. It will self seed like mad, but might not come true.
