Compact with large upward-facing flowers, award-winning Aquilegia Songbird 'BlueBird' is very eye-catching with its long-spurred, blue and white bicolor flowers, up to 3 in. long (7 cm), rising with natural grace above a lovely fern-like, blue-green foliage. Blooming for 4-6 weeks in late spring to early summer, this perennial is generally short-lived but will self-seed without being annoying. 'BlueBird' is a cultivar of the Songbird Series, which is noted for its compact plants and large upward-facing flowers in shades of blue, red or yellow, often with contrasting white petals.
