Aquilegia chrysantha Columbine

Aquilegia chrysantha 
Columbine | Perennial | Zones 3–8

Aquilegia chrysantha, also known as Golden Columbine, brings a delicate charm to shady corners and cottage-style plantings. Its long, graceful yellow spurs nod and sway above soft green foliage, creating a woodland-like feel in the garden. Blooming in spring to early summer, this columbine draws in hummingbirds, butterflies, and pollinators with its nectar-rich blooms.

A native wildflower with a gentle spirit, it thrives in light shade and well-drained soil but can tolerate more sun with a little extra moisture. Perfect for naturalized areas, borders, or wildflower gardens where you want a touch of whimsy and grace.
