Eastern Red Columbine (Aquilegia Canadensis)

With bright colored nodding flowers, Eastern Red Columbine (Aquilegia Canadensis) is the star of the Spring garden.

Eastern Red Columbine finds a happy home in rich moist but well-drained soil. where she has full to partial sun to bask in.

Like any beautiful diva, she enjoys full to partial sun to bask in. She also doesn’t mind if you take some of her flowers for sweet Spring posies. Sharing the beauty of her flowers so she can make more blooms for her pollinator friends makes her very happy!

Red Columbine’s beautiful red, yellow and cream flowers bloom in late Spring to Summer feeding hummingbirds, bumble bees and others. While rabbits and deer don’t care for her boldness~ the hummers adore her flowers.

She stands 2-3’ tall in bushy upright clumps preferring the company of her peers in beds, borders, or other woodland-type setting. Eastern Red Columbine is lovely companion to native roses, lilacs and other native shrubs.
