For years we carried Aquilegia vulgaris (the European species) but are now offering the new-world species (canadensis) as per picture--the colors of this one are more familiar to us, and we think much prettier without the frills. Columbine is one of the most beautiful wild flowers, and grow equally well in a wooded setting or in the window box. According to Culpepper, it was used as an astringent gargle for treating sore mouth or throat. Prefers part to full shade and does well in moist, forested...

A long blooming species, it bears from April thru June, many brilliant red flowers with a yellow corolla that dangle and sway in the breeze. Since it’s little, it would be cute in a pot or planted along a path or front of garden. Reseeds!

1987 NC Wildflower of the Year. Distinctive flowers with upward-pointing, deep red spurs and lemon-yellow petals appear in the spring on 2-3' plants.

Effective as a single specimen or en masse, and makes a good cut flower. A favorite and familiar woodland wildflower which also tolerates quite a bit of sun.Bloom color: red Bloom period...

The flowers are smaller than the hybrids but many more are produced and where happy this species will form long lasting colonies.

Upright perennial blooms for 4 to 6 weeks beginning in early spring. Remove spent flower stocks for second bloom - seeds freely.

Columbine tends to self-sow prolifically so it would be great for naturalizing in a woodland garden, or if you are...
