Details

These columbines bloom in a variety of colors, including shades of dark purple, light purple, red, yellow, and pink. The unique-looking flowers have spurs and their centers look like honeycombs. Columbines attract hummingbirds and can be used in cut-flower arrangements as well. Being drought-tolerant once established, they are perfect for rock or woodland gardens in light shade. Columbine is the state flower of Colorado.
