AQUILEGIA 'Sonia's Silver' SEEDS. EXCLUSIVE 'Very Special Seed' collection from Touchwood
Gorseinon, Swansea

Description
Hi, I'm Carrie Thomas of Touchwood, and I am crazy about plants and gardening. I grow many special, unusual and rare plants and will share seeds of some here as part of my 'Very Special Seeds' collection. THIS IS AN EXCLUSIVE OFFERING, you wont buy this anywhere else.
I do not think anyone else can offer such a good range of these wonderful plants. I have bred Aquilegias, granny's bonnets, columbines for many many years now and can offer you seed from some outstanding plants. Aquilegias are stalwart cottage garden favourites and can flower for you year after year.
Aquilegia 'Sonia's Silver' is EXCLUSIVELY available through Touchwood Seeds. A new introduction with indigo flowers it breaks tradition in having SILVER-VARIEGATED leaves. When aquilegias have variegated leaves, it is with golden variegation, so this is very different. Another difference is that usually variegation is obvious as soon as the seedlings germinate. Not so with this beauty, you will have to wait until spring for the silvering to develop. Very special indeed. Will you be one of the first people to grow this unusual (and extraordinarily rare) granny's bonnet?
Note, you never know what the offspring will be like with aquilegias. 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! I don't think you'll be disappointed.
My special interest is Aquilegias. I used to have the only 2 National Plant Collections of Aquilegias in the whole of the UK. Until the killer disease Aquilegia Downy Mildew (ADM) devastated them and I lost my business, my passion and even moved house because of it. I am now beginning to rebuild a smaller collection of these special plants. I also have seeds of loads more unusual, rare and cottage garden plants.
