Aquilegia chrysantha
'Yellow Queen'

Aquilegia chrysantha Yellow Queen Aquilegia chrysantha Yellow Queen

The most bloomiferous and longest blooming of all Columbines and it’s FRAGRANT, too! Easily reaching 3’ tall and 2’ across, this vigorous, non-dwarfed, perennial Southwestern native bears an awesome number of large, long spurred, clearest yellow flowers from Spring till mid-Summer here along California’s coast. The long nectar-filled spurs make for a sweet snack for butterflies and hummingbirds. Do provide some compost to the soil for most outrageous performance and cut back after it’s finished for a second round of bloom in late Summer. It’s mildew resistant and reseeds too!
