Columbine 'Early Bird'

Aquilegia x Earlybird™

Compact columbine series selection that flowers earlier than many traditional strains, with bicolored purple and white blooms. The nodding, spurred flowers rise over neat mounds of divided foliage and work well toward the front of the border or in containers. Prefers sun to part shade and evenly moist, well-drained soils, especially in cooler spring weather. 

Maintenance:

Cut back spent flowers as desired.
