With Aquilegia 'White', the border welcomes a plant whose flowers display white tones. The foliage shows shades of green, to be highlighted among different textures. The usual flowering period is May-June. At maturity, expect 60 cm in height and 60 cm in width, which guides its use in the middle of the border and for group planting.
Regarding cultivation, Aquilegia 'White' prefers sun to partial shade exposure; the recommended soil is humiferous, retaining its freshness during growth, with no stagnant water around the crown. For Aquilegia 'White', regularly check the soil around the root ball: it must remain fresh. Water at the base when the surface begins to dry and adjust watering according to rainfall; this exposure (sun to partial shade) does not eliminate water requirements. A spacing of approximately 60 cm between centers serves as a starting point, to be adjusted according to observed vigor. The indicated hardiness level is zone 4, to be assessed according to your garden's conditions.
The maintenance of Aquilegia 'White' primarily relies on observing the clump: removing seed pods before maturity limits self-seeding; keep healthy leaves after flowering. Filtered light during hot hours often helps prolong the foliage's appearance on columbines. For associations, consider perennial geraniums, echinaceas, and daylilies of varieties with similar needs. Keep its 60 cm height in mind to place lower plants on the correct side and allow the flowers to be visible during May-June.
