Earlybird Red/White Columbine

A garden bursting with charm and vibrant contrast, ‘Earlybird Red/White’ Columbine flaunts bold red outer petals with crisp white centers, creating a stunning two-tone display from late spring into early summer. Unlike taller columbines, this compact variety reaches just 9-12 inches tall, making it perfect for borders, containers, and small spaces. Its long-spurred, nectar-rich flowers are a magnet for hummingbirds, butterflies, and bees, while its deer-resistant foliage ensures long-lasting beauty with minimal effort. Easy to grow, hardy, and eye-catching, this columbine is a must-have for any pollinator-friendly garden.

  • 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.

    • Generally pest-free.
