Single dark red-and-white flowers face upward above a compact clump of bright green divided foliage, giving Aquilegia vulgaris Winky Red and White a clear spring-to-early-summer display in borders and outdoor containers. Short, incurved spurs preserve the distinctive columbine outline while sturdy branching stems hold the flowers where their bicolor pattern remains easy to see.
This herbaceous perennial grows best in fertile, moist but well-drained soil in full sun or partial shade. It suits cottage-style beds, wildlife-friendly planting, underplanting around roses and shrubs, and patio containers. The flowers provide nectar for pollinators and can also be cut for arrangements. Deadheading encourages more flowers and limits self-seeding, while cutting back declining foliage after bloom promotes fresh later growth.
All parts are toxic if eaten; keep cut material and seed away from food. Watch for aphids, caterpillars, leaf miners, aquilegia gall midge, aquilegia sawfly, powdery mildew, and aquilegia downy mildew.
