Masses of narrow, pink sepals that fade to white towards their tips and are sometimes flushed with green, form almost spherical, fully double flower heads around a cluster of golden stamens. One of the most popular aquilegias, it is highly prized for its bright, cheerful flowers and graceful, upright habit.
