Songbird Mix Columbine is a compact native wildflower perennial with delicate fern-like medium green foliage. Distinctive large upward facing flowers come in a range of colors: white, yellow, red and white, pink and white, blue and white, and purple and white. The flowers bloom in spring attracting hummingbirds. Removing stems after flowering may encourage another bloom. Flowers best in filtered sun and rich well-drained soils.
