Aquilegia bertolonii, common name Bertoloni columbine,[1] is a species of flowering plant in the family Ranunculaceae, native to Southern France and Italy. Growing to 30 cm (12 in) in height, it is an alpine herbaceous perennial. In early summer each erect stem produces up to four spurred, blue-purple flowers.[2]
In cultivation this dwarf columbine is a useful subject for the rockery or alpine garden. It has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.[1]
