How do we use your location?
Knowing your location helps us recommend plants that will thrive in your climate, based on your Growing Zone.
30-36" tall x 18" wide. Native to the canyons of the Southwest, this is one of the most widely adapted of all columbines. A vigorous grower, it combines excellent heat tolerance and mildew resistance with a long display of fragrant yellow flowers in late spring. A good rebloomer if promptly deadheaded. Quite sun tolerant at higher elevations.
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.

"I got one of these 2 years ago as it was one of the few plants I could find that could tolerate shade. Ive since planted 2 more as they not only tolerate a challenging shady place under a Pinon tree, but are flourishing. The picture attached shows one of the three at just a year old. All 3 are growing fast and the bright yellow flowers are very happy-making"
"These are doing well after a year - the deer do like them in the springtime, but they bounce back. Have yet to bloom - probably the deers fault lol"
"My yard has a lot of shade and I'm so glad I bought this plant! The plants were well packed and healthy when they arrived. Once planted, they quickly started growing new leaves and branches. I will let them grow and fill up as much space as they can - they are beautiful and hardy!"
"These are beautiful and so easy to care for!"
"We live on the Colorado Plateau at 7000 feet and have relatively short growing seasons. We have several large ponderosa pines that shady a huge chunk of our yard most of the day. I also try to only plant native plants directly into the ground (I do non-natives in containers). It's been very difficult to find plants that will grow and flower well in the shadier bits. But these golden spur columbine do great. We usually get 2 or 3 rounds of flowers if we deadhead regularly."
"These. Plants arrived healthy. no bloom this year but with plenty of water have already gone for ent or died in the heat. Hoping they will come back as I I not only love the bloom but the foliage is lovely"
"Plants arrived healthy and a good size for transplanting. The plants chose not to bloom this season, but they are growing in size and looking good. Can't wait to see them next season in bloom."
"I lined my flagstone pathway with these beauties . They we so prolific in the spring, the TX heat is starting to hit them, but they are hardy and will come back !!"
"My old plants winter killed last year and this is a replacement. This is my favorite columbine and I will plant no others. The spurs are so long and danity."
"I use this as a fill it in my garden as it is tall and has beautiful leaves."
