Airy, graceful fan like blue-green foliage and large, spurred flowers in a wide range of colors. Plants tend to deteriorate over time especially if drainage is poor. Count on 3 years for most plantings, so need to replace periodically. Attractive to hummingbirds. Many species of columbine are available that tend to be more vigorous and are less favored by leaf miner. They tend to reseed freely, but hybrids will not come true from seed.

Care

Sun to partial shade in moist well-drained soils
