Discover the captivating beauty of Aquilegia flabellata, commonly known as Fan Columbine or Japanese Fan Columbine. This remarkable perennial showcases nodding lilac blue flowers with creamy-white petal tips and distinctive hooked spurs, blooming vibrantly from late spring to early summer. With a compact, bushy growth habit reaching up to 18 inches tall, this native of Eastern Asia forms attractive mounds of finely divided, glaucous green leaves. The foliage keeps its charm throughout summer, provided the soil remains moist, making it an excellent choice for rock gardens, borders, cottage gardens, or dappled woodland settings.

Awarded the prestigious Award of Garden Merit by the Royal Horticultural Society, this perennial will delight you with its ability to attract pollinators like hummingbirds and butterflies, while being unappealing to deer and rabbits. Easy to grow, Fan Columbine prefers part shade in fertile, moist, well-drained soils, and will thrive in a range of garden settings. Enhance your garden’s visual appeal by pairing it with peonies, irises, or alliums, and enjoy the elegance this plant brings to your outdoor space.
