    Zn 3. Double very dark purple, spurless.

    By: Little Prince of Oregon

    Beautiful old-fashioned looking Columbines. Fully double, upward facing spurless purple black blooms in late spring. This variety was bred especially for cut flower production. Lovely in the shade garden!

    Rich dark purple-black double flowers on 2 foot stems are not always recognized as a Columbine at first glance.
