Eastern Red Aquilegia (Aquilegia canadensis), commonly known as Eastern Red Columbine, is a native perennial prized for its nodding red and yellow, spurred blooms that appear in mid to late spring. Its delicate, fern-like foliage forms an airy mound, making it ideal for woodland gardens, shaded borders, and naturalized landscapes. Highly attractive to hummingbirds and tolerant of partial shade, it thrives in well-drained soil and readily self-seeds under favorable conditions.
