Spring Magic Rose and Ivory Columbine

Spring Magic ‘Rose and Ivory’ is a compact columbine with rose-toned outer petals and pale ivory inner petals, presented on upright stems above a dense foliage rosette. Benary includes this bicolor selection in the Spring Magic F1 hybrid series, noted for a full, rounded habit and early-spring flowering. The breeder’s approximate 14-inch height and compact form suit a mixed border, rockery, or seasonal container. ## Site and seasonal use The [Benary culture guide](https://wt.ballhort.com/DisplayProductInformation/106809/Aquilegia%20hybrida%20F1%20Spring%20MagicR.pdf) lists Rose & Ivory among the Spring Magic colors and describes the series as an early-spring flowering perennial for beds, borders, and seasonal mixed containers. [Syngenta’s cultivar listing](https://www.syngentaflowers.com/emea/product/flower/70003195) also identifies Spring Magic Rose and Ivory as a color variety and notes sun/shade exposure and an upright habit. In the garden, provide sun or partial shade and fertile, moist but well-drained soil, following the [RHS Aquilegia guide](https://www.rhs.org.uk/plants/aquilegia/growing-guide). ## Maintenance Water while the plant establishes and during dry periods; avoid standing water around the crown. Remove faded flowers for a tidy appearance or to encourage further flowering. If you want volunteer seedlings, leave some seed heads to ripen; their flower colors may not match the named selection.
