Aquilegia canadensis

The Aquilegia Canadensis, better known as the Eastern Red Columbine Plant, is a North American Native spring wildflower. Growing naturally in the most off-the-wall places, Red Columbines are perfect plantings if you live in rocky wooded areas, like the mountains. Sporting the most eclectic bi-color blooms, the Red Columbines’ red and yellow flowers add an exotic and beautiful touch to any landscape. It’s hard to believe these flowers are native to the US, for their bell-shaped flowers with funky red spurs would have you convinced it derived from some far-off tropical island. Ideal care for Aquilegia canadensis includes full shade to part shade and a sandy or loamy, well-draining soil mix. These plants are tough and can tolerate a wide variety of conditions. These plants are specifically known for their drought tolerance and heat tolerance. These plants are tougher than they look! These shade-loving perennials attract human admirers, but they are also great for attracting many pollinators, from butterflies to hummingbirds!
