I bought some plants years ago and haven't had to buy them again as I allow them to self seed. I've had loads of different colours over the years. I really like them as they flower early. In England they are also called Granny's Bonnet which I think is a lovely name.
We never know what we're getting either :) Usually shades of pinks tho... altho we've had some very dark purple ones this year. Such an incredible creation -- the way the bees can pollinate and change everything :)
They're so sweet to look at. Bare roots are easy enough... but seeds of these are super easy and way less expensive. These bare roots were all gifts from a supplier -- but honestly, we'll just stick with seeds.
Love the rudbeckia i can see in your video, when you were demonstrating how to gather the seeds of the Aquilegia. What variety is it please? I always bottom water my seed trays so the seeds I've sown are not disturbed. Do you not recommend this method as I notice you always sow into damp compost and then top water after sowing. Thank you. Happy gardening 🙂
That's Rudbeckia hirta 'Cappuccino' and 'Autumn colors'. Isn't it gorgeous? :) As for watering, I spray from the top until they've sprouted and then bottom water in the trays (boot trays, actually) from then on to encourage the roots to grow down :)

Hi
Yes, aquilegia are so beautiful. I didn't know you could buy them bare root🎉😮

hi, can this be put in a fish aquarium ?
I think it's actually poisonous to fish... according to this website: www.funkykoi.com/list-of-plants-toxic-to-pond-fish/
