  • Description / Aquilegia 'Crimson Star' Columbine

    Aquilegia 'Crimson Star' columbine grows 24 to 36 inches tall and bursts into bloom each spring, showcasing vibrant, long-spurred flowers in shades of crimson and white. These large, bell-shaped blooms rise gracefully above fern-like foliage, creating a lush, eye-catching display. A magnet for bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds, these flowers are a must-have for pollinator-friendly gardens. They also make charming additions to spring floral arrangements.

    Known as columbines, crowfoots, or granny's bonnets, Aquilegia hybrids like 'Crimson Star' are cherished for their versatility and beauty. Hardy in Zones 3-8, this perennial shines in borders, rock gardens, cottage gardens, and shady woodland spaces. Columbines naturalize easily without becoming invasive, making them an excellent choice for ground cover after their blooms fade. While the foliage may retreat during summer, their presence in the garden is unforgettable.

    'Crimson Star' columbine thrives in sunny to partly shaded areas with well-drained, medium moist soil. Low maintenance and deer resistant, this adaptable plant is perfect for gardeners of all skill levels.

    Plant 'Crimson Star' columbine roots in spring, spacing them 12 to 18 inches apart and burying them 1½ to 2 inches deep.
