Aquilegia canadensis - Columbine from Pleasant Run Nursery

Aquilegia canadensis

Columbine

Our native Columbine, Aquilegia canadensis blooms in April and May, producing beautiful downward facing flowers of red and yellow. They hover above the attractive biternate green foliage, and serve as an important source of nectar for hummingbirds on their northern migrations, as well as native pollinators. Aquilegia canadensis seeds itself well in meadows and edges of the woods, and adds a lovely graceful note to spring flower displays.  Columbine prefers partial shade conditions but will tolerate more sun with adequate moisture.
