Flowering Period

Aquilegia vulgaris var. stellata ‘Ruby Port’ is a captivating perennial that commands attention with its sumptuous, deep burgundy double flowers. These blooms, characterized by their star-like shape and absence of spurs, create a layered, pompom-like appearance that adds a unique and dramatic flair to garden borders during the late spring and early summer months. The striking color of the flowers, reminiscent of fine wine, contrasts beautifully with the plant's delicate, fern-like foliage, which serves as a soft and elegant backdrop. This combination makes ‘Ruby Port’ an exceptional choice for cottage gardens, mixed borders, and naturalistic planting schemes, where it can truly shine.

This deciduous perennial exhibits an upright, bushy growth habit, making it a robust addition to any garden setting. The double, spurless flowers bloom in a rich ruby-red to burgundy hue, creating a stunning visual impact that draws the eye and invites admiration. Flowering occurs from late spring to early summer, providing a vibrant display that enhances the seasonal transition in the garden. The finely divided, fern-like leaves not only contribute a soft texture but also complement the boldness of the blooms, ensuring that ‘Ruby Port’ remains a focal point throughout its flowering period.

Particularly well-suited for cottage gardens and woodland-style plantings, Aquilegia vulgaris var. stellata ‘Ruby Port’ is not only aesthetically pleasing but also beneficial for the ecosystem, as it attracts bees and other pollinators. This perennial thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers moist yet well-drained soil, demonstrating its adaptability to a variety of growing conditions. While it may self-seed, resulting in seedlings that can vary in flower color, the original plant remains a hardy perennial, well-equipped to flourish under UK growing conditions. Its resilience and beauty make it a cherished addition to any garden, promising to enchant for years to come.Height: 75cm (30 in) Spread: 45cm (18 in).

Pot up aquilegia plants and grow them on in frost free conditions until large enough to plant outdoors. Grow aquilegias in sun or part shade in any fertile, moist, well drained soil.

Live Plants

Dobies strives to ensure that all its plants are delivered to you in the perfect condition for planting. While the majority of our nursery plants cope well with slight delays in intransit, sadly, the time it takes to deliver to certain locations in the UK means that we can't guarantee this for some of our smaller plug products and tender bedding and vegetable lines, which do not respond well to the extra journey time. So regretfully while we offer the majority of our live plant offering nationwide, we are unable to ship plugs, begging plants and tender vegetable plants to the following areas: HS, IV41-IV49, IV51, IV55-56, KW15-KW17, PA34, PA41-48, PA60-PA78, PA80, PH40-PH44, TR21-TR24, ZE1-ZE3.

What our customers say

"Very impressed with the quality of leek and broad bean seeds you sent. Excellent germination and look forward to a bumper crop. Will certainly be back."

E. Smyth

“I bought all my seeds, potatoes, etc. from your catalogue last year for my new ‘larger’ vegetable garden. I have to say I have never had such success in the garden. The germination was excellent; the quality of plant stock and produce is superb."

Sadie

“I am compelled to write to you and your staff for the exemplary service provided by your company, in an age where the word and term ‘service’ has lost its meaning.”
