Kirigami™ Rose & Pink Aquilegia

Kirigami™ Rose & Pink is a spring-flowering Rocky Mountain columbine selected for pink and rose-toned blooms. [Syngenta Flowers](https://www.syngentaflowers.com/ams/product/flower/70059715) lists it as an upright member of the Kirigami series, making it a colorful choice for perennial borders and containers. ## Garden use and appearance The breeder’s product page identifies the Rose & Pink color variety (70059715) and describes the series as uniform, with bright, upward-facing flowers. The divided foliage forms a soft backdrop to the spurred blooms. Syngenta's color category is Pink/Rose; individual flowers can show different proportions and shades within that palette. ## Siting and growing conditions The current product listing gives 14–24 inches in height, 12–20 inches in width, part sun to full sun, and USDA zones 4a–9a. Syngenta’s [Kirigami culture guide](https://www.syngentaflowers.com/ams/sites/g/files/kgtney2381/files/file_field/import/field_media_link/sites/g/files/zhg721/f/aquilegia_kirigami_culture_guide.pdf) lists spring flowering and these series dimensions. [Colorado State University Extension](https://planttalk.colostate.edu/topics/annuals-perennials/1031-columbine/) recommends sun or light shade with soil that stays somewhat moist but drains well. NC State Extension similarly advises moist, well-drained soil and cautions against wet, poorly drained locations. In hot regions, partial shade can help maintain the foliage after bloom. ## Seasonal interest The breeder lists flowering from early to late spring. Columbine flowers attract pollinators, including hummingbirds, and can be cut for small arrangements. Seed-grown offspring may not come true to the named color because columbines hybridize freely. ## Maintenance Keep soil evenly moist during establishment and dry spells, while avoiding standing water. Deadhead fading stems to extend the flower display and limit self-seeding; leave foliage until it begins to decline, then cut it back. Allow a few seed heads to mature only if natural renewal is desired. These perennials can be relatively short-lived, so seedlings may help sustain a planting.
