Earlybird Purple/Yellow Columbine

With deep purple outer petals and a golden yellow center, ‘Earlybird Purple/Yellow’ Columbine delivers a stunning two-tone display from late spring into early summer. Unlike traditional columbines, this compact variety stays neat at just 9-11 inches tall, making it perfect for borders, containers, and small gardens. Its long-spurred, nectar-rich flowers attract hummingbirds, butterflies, and bees, while its deer-resistant foliage ensures lasting beauty without hassle. Low-maintenance and easy to grow, this columbine thrives in sun or part shade, adding vibrant early-season color to any space.

  • Maintenance:
    • Deadhead spent blooms to encourage a longer flowering period.
    • Allow some seed heads to form for gentle self-seeding.
    • Cut back foliage in late fall or early spring to refresh new growth.
