european Columbine
Description
Aquilegia vulgaris, commonly known as the Common Columbine or European Columbine, is a delicate perennial prized for its intricate, spurred flowers. These blossoms come in a range of colors, including blue, purple, pink, and white, often with contrasting colors in the spurs. The plant's airy foliage adds a touch of grace to any garden. Columbines thrive in partial shade and well-drained soil. They are relatively low-maintenance and can self-seed, creating charming colonies. Deadheading spent flowers can encourage further blooming. Attracting hummingbirds and pollinators makes this a wonderful choice for a wildlife-friendly garden.
