Semiaquilegias are closely related to aquilegias, but the flowers are typically smaller and don't have spurs. There are seven species, all native to the Asian mountain regions, and blooms are usually pink or purple.
Semiaquilegia 'Sugar Plum Fairy' has dainty, lantern-shaped, plum-coloured flowers and fern-like leaves. It's ideal for growing in containers, at the front of a border or in a rockery. Like most semiaquilegias, 'Sugar Plum Fairy' is a short-lived perennial, so let flowers set seed to ensure you enjoy the plants year after year.
