Red Wild Columbine - Aquilegia canadensis (only 2 left as of 7/4)

Native to all New England States, Perennial (short lived, although self seeds well, may not bloom the first year) it is an early spring bloomer April-June (dead head to extend bloom and prevent self seeding). The attractive foliage will mound and stay throughout the summer. With its coral red & cream yellow blooms it is breathtaking.  One of my favorites.  Self seeds well.

Prefers: Light Sun,, Part Sun/Shade, Medium Wet-Dry Soil with good drainage, Grows to 2' High  (if soil is too wet it will shorten its lifespan).     Works in a medium size container on a shady balcony.

Benefits: Attracts many pollinators-Hummingbirds(it blooms just in time for their spring arrival, as well as bees,  and butterflies
