Eastern Columbine
Aquilegia canadensis
Applewood Seed
This exceptionally lovely Columbine is the only one native to the eastern United States. 

It has drooping red and yellow flowers with straight red spurs. 

This hardy perennial grows to a height of 18-30 inches, and the flower stalks arise from a group of basal leaves. It blooms from mid spring to early summer. 

The spurs of Eastern Columbine contain sweet nectar that attracts bumblebees and hummingbirds.

Eastern Columbine is ideal for rock gardens, rocky slopes, prairie gardens, shady gardens or woodlands. It is easily propagated from seed.
