Description
Wild Red Columbine is a striking perennial that brings vibrant color to Massachusetts gardens in late spring. Its nodding, tomato-orange bell-shaped flowers with yellow centers bloom above delicate light green foliage, attracting hummingbirds and butterflies. This hardy plant thrives in rock gardens, borders, and woodland settings, making it a versatile choice for both naturalized and formal landscapes.
Ideal for Massachusetts' climate, Wild Red Columbine is low-maintenance but benefits from occasional pruning to control self-seeding. Resistant to deer and most pests, it remains a reliable choice for pollinator-friendly gardens. Cutting back in late fall encourages fresh growth in spring, ensuring a continuous display of delicate yet bold blooms year after year.
