Aquilegia Mixes
Touchwood 'All kinds of Everything' Mix (from loads of mother plants)	Anything and everything in this glorious mix!
Touchwood pinks MIX	Includes palest pinks and Nora Barlow
Touchwood 'Old Special Mix'	Some of last year's seeds are too good to miss. This is a mix of last year's ones that are no longer available for this year. Yes there will be less germination, but don't worry, the packets will be at least twice as big to make up fot that! Doubles, singles, long-spurred, golden leaved, stellatas Barlows.... all my special sorts.
Aquilegia Touchwood Strewing Mix HUGE packets that you can grow by scattering directly on the ground where you wish them to flower. Includes some of last year's spare seeds. Remember, they'll take 1-2 months to germinate, be aware weedlings will also germinate!
I think your website is brilliant, your passion for the plants really comes across and selections are first class. Now I've found you, I'll know where to come again in the future. Kind regards, Mike Brown, Surrey 2011 Oh, your seedlist makes me sick, I have looked through it twice already, but there is absolutely no space for more aquilegias …or is there? What an effort you put into the list! The collection list, starting of with white and getting darker and darker for example, all the text describing all the entries …Susann, Sweden'I wrote earlier that my seed sowing skill is limited 'well, I am really rather pleased. I've ended up with over 20 plants each from the pink, white and black stellata seeds. I've 15 'Green Apple' plants too. Unfortunately, I only got five 'Firewheel'plants, but that's fine because I'm sure the little devils will produce some very interesting babies none-the-less! I'm planning a new border just for my babies! Thank you so much. With very best wishes Julia Alder August 2010 Thanks for the info Julia …very good for me as the Green Apples and Firewheel ones are seeds BUY IN! so the best germination was with my own seeds …probably because they are fresher ones. And now that I know that Firewheel seeds were rather poor germinators I'll be able to put more in a packet next year. Green Apples is my own seed this year. 'You will be pleased to hear that I have supplied most of Birkerød with lovely Touchwood aquilegias. Best wishes, Lise Sonne Rasmussen, Denmark 2012

Described forms
This section starts with singles then doubles, then bicolored singles then doubles. Further down are long-spurred ones . Near the end you will find stellatas, including the Barlow types, then coloured leaf forms and finally my exciting DOUBLES WITH YELLOW: the Touchwood Treasures range.
Aquilegia ex white single	A single white, ever popular. Select seedlings without any purpley hue to the leaf stalks of the seedlings. .AMAZING FACT: Aquilegias are also known as 'columbine' which is French for 'dove'. Can you see the 5 doves sitting in a circle having a good old natter 'tete-to-tete' (left)? Seed from a rather unusual white form, pictured right as flowers held at an angle.
Aquilegia ex 2219 elegant white New for 2023	A single white, ever popular. Select seedlings without any purpley hue to the leaf stalks of the seedlings. .AMAZING FACT: Aquilegias are also known as 'columbine' which is French for 'dove'. Can you see the 5 doves sitting in a circle having a good old natter 'tete-to-tete' (left)? Seed from a rather unusual white form, pictured right as flowers held at an angle.
What colour is pink?	How do I describe flower colours? I do the best that I can, and hope to get it right most of the time, eg that a dark pink is described the same whether it's in my front garden or the back garden! But what I call dark pink may not be what you imagine as that. Here I have taken a photo that should help. Starting at the BOTTOM is what I call palest pink, and going CLOCKWISE there is pale pink, pink, dark pink and finally ruby. Is that helpful?
Aquilegia ex palest pink single	Light and bright for darker corners... or anywhere!
Aquilegia Light pink single	Quiet charm, that lights up the garden.
Aquilegia ex pink single	'Sugar' pink
Aquilegia ex 9 pink single spiky	This has longer petals. Actually they are sepals! New for 2023
Aquilegia ex reddish-purple	Unusual in colour with greatest amount of red in the newly opened buds. Rather different shape to flower as well.
Aquilegia ex Marbled blue single	This type of blue I call 'marbed', as white is mixed or marbled in with the blue (like a roan horse). Like white flowered forms, select the seedlings without any purple in the leaf stem.
Aquilegia ex 2-tone blue single	Isn't this perfect? New for 2023 Like white flowered forms, select the seedlings without any purple in the leaf stem.
What colour is blue?	How do I describe flower colours? I do the best that I can, and hope to get it right most of the time, eg that a good blue is described the same whether it's in my front garden or the back garden! But what I call blue may not be what you imagine as that. My photos of each plant should help, but remember digital pics enhance blueness. Here I have taken a photo that should help. Starting at the TOP LEFT is what I call blue, and then good blue (yes, those are subtle differences). Bottom row is purple then indigo-purple. Is that helpful?
Aquilegia ex blue single OUT OF STOCK	Sorry, pic looks purple!
Aquilegia ex 18 unusual indigo	Spreading blades. But then something chaged and different genes were expressed in later flowers... a stellata (star) form (lhs)!
Aquilegia ex elegantly held indigo	Photo doesn't really show its true elegance.
Aquilegia ex indigo variable	Sometimes seems to be a usual flower perhaps with some white, then it tries to be a stellata or star form!
Aquilegiaex 2273 purple-indigo with lighter stripe	Unusual, isn't it? New for 2023
Aquilegia ex white double
Aquilegia ex off-white double	Faintest hint of pink on the sepals and spurs. Last year's seeds so double-sized packet
Aquilegia ex white double, quilled	Some 'quilling' seen on the blades... they are curling up at the edges, like an old-fashioned ink pen nib.
Aquilegia ex white double, yellow tinge when young	Older flowers look white but young ones have an unusual yellowy hue. New for 2023
Aquilegia ex white pleated double, hint of blue	Another slightly different version of white. New for 2023
Aquilegia ex palest pink double	Good colour, strong & prolific
Aquilegia ex 2291 pale pink double	New for 2023
Aquilegia ex 2260 pale pink-blue pompom	Lilacy New for 2023
Aquilegia ex light pink double	Drat, I can't find the photo of the actual plant, but this will be similar.
Aquilegia ex 22104 pink single which then became a frilly double	...yup, that can happen! New for 2023
Aquilegia ex 2296 pink double	New for 2023.
Aquilegia ex 2230 large loose 2-tone pink double	With a slight scent New for 2023
Aquilegia ex 2295 darker pink double	New for 2023
Aquilegia ex 2297 marbled pink-red double	Like with white forms, select seedlings without any purpley hue to the leaf stalks of the seedlings. New for 2023
Aquilegia ex blue double
Aquilegia ex 2267 marbled blue double	Like with white forms, select seedlings without any purpley hue to the leaf stalks of the seedlings. New for 2023
Aquilegia ex 7 marbled blue full double	Like with white forms, select seedlings without any purpley hue to the leaf stalks of the seedlings. New for 2023
Aquilegia ex purple Denim double	I just love these marbled blue doubles, especially these darker forms which I call denim colour. Like with white forms, select seedlings without any purpley hue to the leaf stalks of the seedlings.
Aquilegia ex deep purple Denim double,	Just look how the buds change from a greeny white to this dark shade! Like with white forms, select seedlings without any purpley hue to the leaf stalks of the seedlings.
Aquilegia ex 38 dark purple Denim double,	Like with white forms, select seedlings without any purpley hue to the leaf stalks of the seedlings. New for 2023
Aquilegia ex lilac double	This is an unusual shade.
Aquilegia ex 2-tone lilac double
Aquilegia ex 2-tone purple double	Frilly 2-tone double.
Aquilegia ex 2286 lilacy-blue double	. New for 2023
Aquilegia ex 2243 large 2-tone indigo double	Some scent New for 2023
Aquilegia ex indigo double	Lasr year's seeds so double-sized packets
Aquilegia ex indigo double in scented bed	Yeah, I know, it looks more purple in this shot!
	Now we move onto the Touchwood range of seeds from BICOLOURED SINGLES. Note, long-spurred sorts are later.
Aquilegia ex pink & white SM type	SM means Spring Magic, which have large flowers on short plants. However this one is full height, 1M/3' and the large flowers look really stunning, it is one of the earliest to flower and one of the latest still in bloom. I cannot praise it enough, if you only buy 1 packet of seeds, this is the one for you!
Aquilegia ex pink & white	This one doesn't open it's lovely flowers as wide as some others. Seems almost coy!
Aquilegia ex pink & white larger flower	Flowers a little later in its shady spot, and that means it flowers later as well.
Aquilegia ex Rose & ivory SM type	Ex Spring Magic so a shorter plant and larger flowers.
Aquilegia ex Rose & ivory SM type, but taller	Ex Spring Magic so larger flowers, but this is a taller plant. New for 2023
Aquilegia ex 2235 lilac & creamy white	From a cross between golden leaved black flowers and may other types.... so expect wonderful varability in the seedlings! New for 2023
Aquilegia ex 2201 blue & white SM type	Ex Spring Magic so a shorter plant and larger flowers. Seedling from Spring Magic blue & white, but offspring may be more variable. And equally delightful! New for 2023
Aquilegia ex 2212 blue & white SM type	Particularly lovely curled spurs. Ex Spring Magic so a shorter plant and larger flowers. Seedling from Spring Magic blue & white, but offspring may be more variable. And equally delightful! New for 2023
Aquilegia ex indigo & white bb	Wondering what bb could possibly mean? It's just a shorthand for myself for Beyond the Beyond. Part of my garden is 'Beyond the Garden', which leads to the 'Back of Beyond', and well, Beyond the Beyond is even further away! Now that's got nothing to do with the flowers there but helps me to differentiate between seeds from different plants!
Aquilegia ex Indigo & white, lovely curled spurs	Another of the Spring Magic offspring, so shorter plant.
Aquilegia ex purple & white large flower shortish	Likely to be another Spring Magic offspring.
Aquilegia ex purple & white
Aquilegia ex dark purple & white
Aquilegia ex purple, creamy yellow inside, largeish flower	New for 2023
Aquilegia ex 'black' and white	Seed from several plants, slightly different shades but all as near to black as possible.
	Now let's see my bicoloured doubles.
Aquilegia ex 2284 pink & creamy white double	Like many creamy ones the shade matures to white. This one also is blessed with some scent. New for 2023
Aquilegia ex 2224 crimson & white double	The flowers dace otwards and upwards, rather like the Winky sorts. New for 2023
Aquilegia ex 41 indigo & white double	Wow, just look at that. This seedling from Spring magic indigo & white started as a single but look at it now!
Aquilegia ex 2263 indigo & white double	New for 2023
Aquilegia ex indigo-purple & white double	This started as a sinle flowered plant that later matured to a double. It's always worth waiting!	... and i forgot to take a pic!!!!
Aquilegia ex 209 purple & white double	A beautiful long-spurred double. New for 2023
Aquilegia ex 2250 purple & creamy white double	With some scent New for 2023
Aquilegia ex 22101 2tone purple double	Expect variable offspring as the mother plant had black flowers and golden leavea and the father plant was a purple and yellow long-spurred sort! New for 2023
Aquilegia ex 2271 purple & creamy double	They don't come much better than this one. New for 2023
Aquilegia ex ex 2215 black & white frilly double	As with whenever I say 'black', this is the deepest darkest crimson possible in Aquilegias. New for 2023

Long spurred hybrids LARGE flowers, LONG spurs	Below I offer some seed from some choice long-spurred hybrids.	Will they come true? I don't know, but all are likely to be desirable.
Aquilegia ex 2283 yellow long-spurred	New for 2023
Aquilegia ex 2275 yellow long-spurred	A named yellow long-spurred cultivar New for 2023
Aquilegia ex pale pink & yellow long-spurred	New for 2023
Aquilegia ex 46 deep pink, and creamy long-spurred	Smaller flowered than many long-spurred, and shorter. But as delicate. This was a rescued plant! I had it for sale but then decided I would keep it! New for 2023
Aquilegia ex 2213 dark pink &yellow l/s	Not strictly a long-spurred one although it contains typical colours. This is a larger flowered form of our usual granny's bonnet as it has been interbred. I call them 'harmony' types. New for 2023
Aquilegia ex dark pink, yellow inside long-spurred	This flowered near my gate and always attracted lots of comments. Last year's seeds so double-sized packets
Aquilegia ex dark pink-red & yellow long-spurred Last year's seeds so double-sized packets
Aquilegia ex rose & yellow long-spurred	Last year's seeds so double-sized packets
Aquilegia ex red & yellow rescued	Rescued? Yup, another one that I had it on my sales table for £6.50 in 2021, and as no-one bought it quickly enough I decided I'd not live without it and rescued it for myself! Last year's seeds so double-sized packets
Aquilegia ex 2217 red, yellow inside mid-sized long-spurred	The yellow is on the inside of the cup of petals, you can see the outside of the petal is red! New for 2023
Aquilegia ex 2298 red, yellow inside smallish long-spurred	Great colour combination. This became a lovely big plant in its first year and just flowered and flowered for weeks and weeks! New for 2023
Aquilegia ex 2299 red, yellow inside long-spurred	Another dramatic beauty. New for 2023
Aquilegia ex 2272 red & yellow long-spurred	New for 2023
Aquilegia ex 22111 dark red & yellow long-spurred	New for 2023

Aquilegia ex purple, creamy yellow inside	Last year's seeds so double-sized packets
Aquilegia ex early purple & yellow long-spurred	What a great start to the aquilegia season when this beauty flowers. Last year's seeds so it should be a double-sized packet, however only 35 seeds now left... but perhaps someone wants a chance at this beauty!
Aquilegia ex orangy & yellow long-spurred

A few from species Aquilegias

... or their hybrids


Aquilegia ex ecalcarata hybrid	Seed from this pink, spurred, double. These are small plants, rock garden sized. New for 2023
Aquilegia ex coerulea	The Rocky Mountain columbine... oh how I'd love to see this growing en masse in the wild! New for 2023
Aquilegia ex 'William Guiness'	Closest to 'black' and white. 'Magpie' is the same or similar. Darker than it looks here. New for 2023

Now let's look at the Aquilegia vulgaris f. stellata or star forms. Also known as clematis-flowered, which is what I'll use for not-all-vulgaris-genes ones
Aquilegia ex 19 stellata white	Stellata form, white. One of the unusual star or clematis-flowered forms. Do grow them in your garden and amaze your friends. 'Can those REALLY be aquilegias??!!' YES!!!
Aquilegia ex 2234 stellata white	New for 2023
Aquilegia ex stellata white with a hint of pink
Aquilegia ex 26 stellata stonewashed pink	How on earth do I despribe this colouring.... then I had an inspiration, would you agree, a very washed out stonewash pink?
Aquilegia ex indigo stellata	Pleased to be able to add this lovely form. New for 2023
Aquilegia ex 22108 white Barlow type	Now we move on to the full double forms of stellatas, known as the Barlow range. New for 2023
Aquilegia ex 'Lime Sorbet'	Last year's seeds so double-sized packets
Aquilegia ex 2237 Rose Barlow sort,	I love this but unless I got the labels mixed up, the mother plant was a creamy yellow double! New for 2023
Aquilegia ex 'Nora Barlow'	Unusual Barlow double where each 'petal' shades from deep old-rose-pink through cream to the green tips. Originally known as the rose columbine. An old, beautifully and regularly formed variety. People ask can 'Nora Barlow' really be an aquilegia? Select seedlings with no purple in the stems.
Aquilegia ex 'Christa Barlow'	Select seedlings with no purple in the stems.


The final sorts in this section are the ones with golden or variegated leaves.
Aquilegia ex 'Sonia's Silver' EXCLUSIVE NEW INTRODUCTION in 2021: AQUILEGIA 'SONIA'S SILVER. Extraordinarily rare, seed of this plant was gifted to me by another aquilegia fan in 2019.	Variegated leaf, but with a difference! Variegated Aquilegias have golden variegations, but not this one, it has white or silver! I cannot stress enough that this is a new colour break in granny's bonnets, I've only known the silvering in a tiny species aquilegia, which proved difficult for me to grow. Not like this beauty, easy-peasy, with healthy robust growth. Indigo flowers top these strong plants. ps, don't be disappointed upon germination if your baby seedlings are all green-leaved, the white variegation doesn't show until after winter! (Just like variegated tree mallows and honesty). I found that a few plants will remain green-leaved in spring (possibly a quarter), but they are still good garden plants. This beautiful, groundbreaking new variant has been named by the originator as Aquilegia 'Sonia's Silver'. Will you be one of the first few to grow this plant? You won't regret it.
Aquilegia ex gold leaf 'black' single	This is an absolutely stunning plants with its bright golden leaves which set off the almost-black flowers perfectly. Select golden-leaved seedlings as they germinate.
Cross-pollination in brief shown here near the beginning. Touchwood Aquilegias on TV	NOW SOME REAL EXCITEMENT! I have cross-pollinated the above plant with other specials from my garden. A few of the crosses have given me enough seed to share, just 15 SEEDS PER PACKET. Note the gold leaf trait is probably recessive, so don't worry if no seedlings have golden leaves (in this f1 generation), however if you then cross-pollinate your seedlings when they flower then the seeds (f2 generation) should show some golden leaved forms.	Don't know how to cross-pollinate? I'm happy to show you.
Aquilegia ex SPECIAL gold leaf, black double	Special??? Yes... this was a cross I made with 'Golden Guiness' double form, which has 'black' and white double flowers. Therefore I expect that you will get some of those sorts coming out in the seedlings you grow, as well as more black double sorts (again the flowers are darker than pic was able to capture!). New for 2023
Aquilegia ex 2231 gold leaf pink flower	Pretty. New for 2023
Aquilegia ex gold leaf 'indigo flower	Drat... somehow I never took a photo... so like below in colour and above in style! New for 2023
Aquilegia ex 2242 gold leaf indigo double	Looking good with its golden leaves. New for 2023
Aquilegia ex 2246 'gold leaf dark indigo	New for 2023
Carrie, Just a quick note to let you know that I received my seed order last week and promptly got them stratified this past weekend. Thanks again for offering these seeds and dealing with my order in a prompt and efficient manner. I look forward to seeing the outcome of this purchase in 2011. Best regards, Jonathan Thompson, Canada 'Dear Carrie, you have done it again. You have infected me with the severest form of aquilegia fever. Here is my order for this year. A. Volkenborn, Germany. 'Coming to your website is always a feast for the eyes especially right now in the dead of winter. Blessings and thanks,'Maureen Smith, Ontario, Canada 'A big thank you for the wonderful aquilegias that we have in our garden now following the acquisition of your seeds last year. They are quite splendid and thriving in spite of the weather and the North Yorkshire climate. Kindest regards, Mike Holden. 2012 I was so overwhelmed by those exciting aquilegias you sell, that I ordered almost all just double ones. However I overlooked those more elegant ones, singles and maybe fragrants as well. I felt very sad, because I thought that I had to wait another year to make a new order. And then to wait another year to see them in bloom. That's much too long. So I decided to make another order this year. ;-) Reinhard Oberleitner, Austria

Dear Carrie, Please could I thank you for the seeds that you sent me last year. The germination rate was exceptional, much better than some of the larger commercial seed merchants.I have been most impressed with the Stellata mix. Although a simple flower, the range of colours has been tremendous. Out of all the aquilegias these seem to arouse the visitors curiosity more than any other, although all the others that you sent me are just as beautiful. What I am finding most interesting is the fact that I am finding two types of flower on many plants i.e Doubles with pom poms, doubles with stellata. Every day is an adventure in the garden, just when you think you have seen them all, you find another one even more striking hidden away. Once again many thanks for the enjoyment you have given me with your seeds. Yours Very Sincerely, Jim Forshaw, Lancashire May 2008 Such an appealing flower. I remember the first time I noticed a columbine when I started gardening. I was enchanted with this mystery plant. I didn't want to know it's name because I was afraid it would lose it's allure. It has lost the mystery but I love it even more. Valerie Gillman Michigan USA They are normally thought of being short-lived I can assure you of this: there's one old, propably a Vulgaris cultivar growing in my garden in the same place, and it's the same root, not off-sets, for about 45 years! Planted by my late mother, I have a picture of me with mother beside the Aquilegia when I was about 4-5 years old and it's still there, same place flowering each year. Reijo Sodergren, Finland How will you know if you've arrived in Heaven? You will suddenly be walking through endless fields of Aquilegias! :-) Aidan Tagg, Worcs

There's postage costs, and you can order this years seeds at the same time.

Requesting your help about names

As you may be aware there is great confusion in the names of Aquilegia cultivars, and as a collection holder I certainly don't wish to add to the problem! One major reason is that Aquilegias from seed may not come 'true'; due both to promiscuous bees but also due to recessive genes (so a plant 'looks' right (eg double blue & white) but has hidden genes (eg for singles, pink, white and 'not bicoloured'!).
Therefore, PLEASE do not name the plant until it has flowered and looks 'true' to its description.
MIXES: Resulting plants should not be labelled, for example, 'Touchwood Eventide' or even 'Eventide' as they will be a total mix, of some recognisable named cultivars together with un-named forms.

The bees have had their fun, and as all my plants are open pollinated, Aquilegias cannot to guaranteed to come true to type, I select seed from the correct seed parent, but do not know what pollen fertilised it. Nevertheless, I've never seen a 'bad' aquilegia! In a way with my aquilegia seeds you are buying the amazing Touchwood gene pool as much as any particular cultivar.Often, I may only have a few packets of seed of a certain type. I don't say which are in short supply because, magically, everyone suddenly must have that plant! So please give plenty of alternatives, or ring / e-mail for availability. Aquilegias are hardy perennials that flower the year after sowing
HOW MANY SEEDS IN A PACKET? Usually 'enough'! At least 25 seeds and sometimes MANY more. As a general rule, don't expect many more than 25 seeds in the Touchwood Treasures selection of aquilegias, whereas many of the mixes are very generous, as well as the single-coloured single flowered sorts. 'Your seeds from last spring germinated at 90-95% France' Photographs are great, but COLOURS aren't always perfect. Understand that ordinary photos tend to make blues look more purple and digital photos make the blues look clearer! So please use the photos with this in mind and take the written description as more realistic. However, MOST of the photos are taken of the actual plant from which the seed was harvested …that's good, isn't it? New for 20xx means new this year, either for the first time or after a time of unavailability on the seedlist

Instead, besides cash I can only do direct bank transfer, I'll send details after I have your wish list, agreed availability and price and packeted your seeds.If you would like to receive news about special offers, please see Facebook Carrie's Seed Lists and to glimpse my new garden I'm delevoping here in Gorseinon see Facebook Carrie's Garden, If you want to buy plants from me, this garden is where you'll visit.

OVERSEAS I am pleased to post ANYWHERE in the world. However, please will you check (online search for your customs) that what you order is ALLOWED by your customs, otherwise the seeds may be seized & destroyed. I cannot check each and every nation's rules myself, so I must leave it as your responsibility, as you will be the one who loses out if anything doesn't get through. It is easy to check that you comply rather than shed tears at any losses. For my part, I am willing to do any extra work necessary for your customs' requirements, and not charge you anything extra. eg, Norway ONLY allows 50 packets of seeds in at a time. Info about US is really good at NARGS NOTE NO OVERSEAS AT THE MOMENT DUE TO COVID

GUARANTEE I fully expect you to enjoy a good germination from my seeds. If that is not the case, please let me know, for either information and advice, replacement seed or a credit note. But when you do get good results …please tell your friends and let them benefit from good seed of cottage garden, rare and unusual plants at a brilliant price!!
