Wild Columbine is a whimsical garden plant that provides nectar in the spring for bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. Coincidentaly, its flowering period occurs with the return of migrating humingbirds, and provides an important nectar source for them. This early bloomer is also quite versatile in the landscape. Wild Columbine will tolerate a large range of soil and sun types, so you'll have success with it in full sun as well as shade. It can grow in pine tree areas and is deer-resistant.
