The White Columbine ‘Snow Queen’ (Aquilegia caerulea ‘Snow Queen’) is a graceful and light variety of columbine, appreciated for its pure white flowers, elegant habit, and hardiness.
Native to the mountainous regions of North America, Aquilegia caerulea is an alpine species that has given rise to several cultivars, including the ‘Snow Queen’. This variety stands out with its white flowers, sometimes slightly cream-colored, giving it a delicate and refined appearance.
Short-lived perennial (3 to 4 years), it self-seeds spontaneously, allowing it to reappear in the garden year after year.
‘Snow Queen’ produces elegant and airy flowers, borne on fine stems that rise above the foliage. Their star-shaped form, complemented by long, curved spurs, resembles hanging lanterns. The finely cut, bluish-green foliage forms a beautiful basal tuft.
Blooming occurs from May to June, depending on the climate. Each flower measures 5 to 8 cm in diameter. The slightly arched petals and long spurs give a refined appearance. The flowers are nectar-rich and attract bees and butterflies.
Young plants in pots should be planted in spring or autumn. Space the plants 30 to 40 cm apart to allow for good development. Enrich the soil with well-rotted compost if needed.
