Golden Columbine

Aquilegia chrysantha (Golden Columbine) is a stunning shade-loving perennial with bright yellow flowers, perfect for illuminating darker corners of Southwestern gardens. Growing up to 3 feet tall, this columbine thrives in moist, well-drained soils and part-shade conditions, making it ideal for canyon seeps or garden beds with some protection from the sun. Its elegant blooms attract butterflies, bumblebees, and other pollinators, while its nearly evergreen foliage provides year-round interest.
