Description
Aquilegia, commonly called Granny's Bonnet or Columbine, is a perennial plant found in meadows, woodlands, and at higher altitudes throughout the Northern Hemisphere.
In traditional herbalism columbine was considered sacred to Venus; carrying a posy of it was said arouse the affections of a loved one.
Nicholas Culpeper recommended it to ease the pains of childbirth. In modern herbal medicine it is used as an astringent and diuretic.
