Plant Features

Earlybird™ Yellow Aquilegia add delightful sprays of pastel yellow blooms to the garden! Columbines are easy to grow and thrive in moist, well-drained soils. Full sun is okay in northern gardens; afternoon shade is preferred in southern gardens. Well suited to cottage gardens, at woodland edges, and are excellent in containers and as cut flowers. Aquilegia attracts hummingbirds and butterflies while deer and rabbit tend to avoid it.
