Description
18" tall x 15" wide (seed propagated). Arizona Columbine is a favorite around here with its profusion of small bright orange-yellow flowers. The amount of orange in the outer petals is variable. Even the dry, hot summer weather didn't shorten the 3-month blooming season. Like Golden Spur Columbine, Arizona Columbine comes down from the mountains into the middle elevations of Coconino Co. in north central Arizona and is more amenable to non-mountain climates. Shade is a must in hot desert climates.
Planting & Care
Shipping
No shipping data
As soon as your order is placed you will receive a confirmation email. You will receive a second email the day your order ships telling you how it has been sent. Some perennials are shipped as potted plants, some as perennial roots packed in peat. The ‘Plant Information’ section describes how that item will ship. All perennials and fall-planted bulbs are packaged to withstand shipping and are fully-guaranteed. Please open upon receipt and follow the instructions included.
Perennials and fall-planted bulbs are shipped at the proper planting time for your Growing Zone. Perennial and fall-planted bulb orders will arrive separately from seeds. If your order requires more than one shipment and all items are shipping to the same address, there is no additional shipping charge. See our shipping information page for approximate ship dates and more detailed information. If you have any questions, please call Customer Service at (801) 769-0300 or contact us by email or chat.

Great in shady yard
"These do great in our shady yard. They bloom early and the hummingbirds love them. If I deadhead regularly, they bloom multiple times during the spring and summer"
Beautiful Little Columbine
"This plant is doing very well here in Oklahoma City but I've placed it where it gets some hot afternoon sun and is a bit drier spot and it is thriving. It does get some water when I run the sprinklers. It stays true to its described size even in our wetter climate. Dainty but tough little plant! I love it and highly recommend."
Growing beautifully in humid Kentucky
"Contrary to its ""Western only"" rating here, this plant has thrived in my hot and humid Kentucky garden. I have heavy clay soil but mine are on slopes which may help drainage. It does best for me in bright shade but performs in full sun as well. It usually blooms just after vulgaris. I crossed this plant with a lively violet A. vulgaris with fantastic results. I think this plant will prove easier and hardier than assumed as it is more widely grown. It fills a nice gap in the garden because of its bloom time (sometimes through June) and shorter stature than the more common A. canadensis."
Aquilegia desertorum
"This plant is being used in my Hosta bed and I simply cannot wait to see what happens this spring when everything wakes up. To me this is the perfect little plant to ""pop"" a tiny color in the mist of a green ocean."
