Description:
Aquilegia vulgaris, commonly known as columbine, is a flowering herbaceous perennial native to Europe. It is notable for its upward-facing blooms that come in a variety of colors, including bicolors of red, blue, and white. The plant can grow up to 4 feet tall and features double flowers with strongly hooked spurs. Columbine is popular in gardens for its early summer blooms and is often treated as a biennial due to its short-lived nature. While it is a beautiful addition to any garden, all parts of the plant are poisonous if ingested. It has historical significance in herbalism and is considered sacred to Venus. The plant is susceptible to aphids and sawfly larvae, and spent flower-heads should be removed to prevent unwanted seeding.
