Description
Bring native charm and whimsical beauty to your garden with Eastern Red Columbine, a perennial wildflower with nodding red and yellow lantern-like blooms. Reaching 18″–24″ tall and wide, its airy, drooping flowers create a graceful display in borders, woodland gardens, or along riverbanks. Thriving in shaded or semi-shaded areas, this native columbine attracts pollinators while adding vibrant color from spring through early summer, making it perfect for naturalistic or wildlife-friendly landscapes.
Start seeds indoors 10–12 weeks before the last frost or sow outdoors 4–6 weeks before the last frost when soil temperatures are suitable. Space seeds in groups of four every 12″–24″ and thin to encourage strong growth. With its delicate, spurred blossoms and native appeal, Eastern Red Columbine is an ideal choice for gardeners seeking season-long color, pollinator support, and a touch of woodland elegance.
