Columbine Denver Gold (Aquilegia)

Denver Gold Columbine Plant

A particularly showy race of the golden columbine of the southern Rockies. The huge, yellow flowers can be over three inches across and the spurs are even longer. The plants often bloom from May to autumn frost and self sow generously. This columbine is a favorite among gardeners for its long-lasting blooms, low maintenance requirements, and ability to attract hummingbirds and butterflies. It's also deer and rabbit resistant.
