Wild Columbine
Aquilegia canadensis
Description: Wild Columbine is a delicate yet resilient perennial wildflower known for its graceful, nodding red and yellow bell-shaped flowers with elongated spurs. Blooming in spring and early summer, this shade-loving plant adds elegance to woodland gardens, borders, and pollinator-friendly landscapes. With its lacy green foliage and airy growth habit, Wild Columbine brings natural beauty and movement to any garden.
Wildlife Benefits: Wild Columbine is a magnet for hummingbirds, butterflies, and native bees, providing an early-season nectar source when few other flowers are blooming. Its seeds also attract small birds like finches.
Medicinal Benefits: Traditionally, some Indigenous groups used Wild Columbine in herbal remedies, though it is primarily grown today for its ornamental and ecological value. The plant should be used with caution, as parts of it may be toxic if ingested in large quantities.
Native Status: Native to eastern North America, including Georgia, Wild Columbine thrives in woodland edges, rocky slopes, and meadows, making it an excellent choice for native plant gardens.
Pollinator Friendliness: With its unique tubular flowers, Wild Columbine is one of the best early-season nectar sources for hummingbirds, bumblebees, and long-tongued pollinators.
Planting Guidelines:
Height: 12–36 inches
Spacing: 12–18 inches
Sun/Shade: Prefers Partial Shade but tolerates Full Sun in cooler climates
How to Grow: Wild Columbine thrives in well-drained, slightly moist soil but is drought-tolerant once established. It self-seeds readily, creating beautiful drifts of color year after year. Deadhead spent flowers to prolong blooming, or leave seed heads for natural reseeding and wildlife food.
Bring delicate charm, pollinator support, and native beauty to your garden with Wild Columbine—a graceful, easy-care perennial that welcomes hummingbirds and early pollinators.
Available in 2.5 inch and quart pots
