Aquilegia vulgaris ‘Dorothy Rose’

Aquilegia vulgaris 'Dorothy Rose', commonly known as Granny's Bonnet, is a graceful perennial valued for its soft pink, nodding flowers and attractive foliage. Blooming in late spring to early summer, each flower features five sepals and petals with backward-curving spurs, creating an elegant appearance that attracts bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. The light green to bluish-green, finely divided leaves form a low, dense mound that remains lush throughout the growing season. Thriving in full sun to partial shade and well-drained, organic-rich soil, 'Dorothy Rose' is ideal for cottage gardens, woodland gardens, and perennial borders. It pairs well with perennials like hostas, ferns, and hellebores, adding elegance and supporting local biodiversity.
