Notes
'Earlybird Red Yellow' columbine (Aquilegia 'Earlybird Red Yellow') is a perennial for borders, containers, and low maintenance gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil of most types. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything. Outward-facing red blooms attract butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees, and the plant self-seeds.
Pairs well with Siberian iris, Yarrow, and Oriental poppy.
