Synonym(s) Aquilegia reuteri Common name columbine Family ranunculaceae Life cycle perennial (Z2-9) Flowers blue (May) Size 12" Light sun-part shade From seed Germinated for me at room temperature detailed seed-starting info below Seed ripens late June A pretty little dwarf columbine, often used in rock gardens. I like the "blue bomb" buds. If this year (the second year after seeding) is typical, they will be the earliest-blooming columbines in our garden.

In our garden, this plant grows in the following areas: front perennial border, orchard nursery area

Seed for this plant is included on my seed trade list
