\"aquilegia<\/a><\/div>\n

Columbine flowers, also called aquilegia, are an easy to grow North American native perennial flower. I have two cultivars in my garden, and both thrive here in south central Virginia. They’re tough plants and I’ve only lost a few transplanted from seedlings grow indoors; I didn’t water them enough, and they died during dry periods If I remember to baby them along through their first few months of life, they reward me with plentiful blossoms and seedlings for years to come.<\/p>\n

Speaking of seedlings, columbine does seed plentifully – and I mean plentifully! I look at it like “free plants” and move them from one shady spot to another, but if you have a small garden, be prepared to give away extra plants to friends, neighbors and any takers.<\/p>\n
