This is a lovely plant that has a striking impact in garden beds

Stunning photography from Georgianna Lane takes readers on a floral tour of the city

The bold prints demand attention and deserve it

The trick to longevity though is that these plants require excellent drainage in dry soil and also a full sun position

Aquilegia caerulea | Crimson Star | Granny's Bonnet | Columbine Giftware This is a lovely plantA beautiful crimson star shaped coloured Aquilegia with its delicate white centre petals, this garden favourite blooms for weeks in spring, rising their lovely little nodding heads above soft bluish green, ferny foliage. Another of our must have garden treasures! Perfect little doers under deciduous trees, where they self seed freely. This is a short lived perennial, but if you leave the seed heads on them, you'll have them forever. Great cut flowers
