Description
Origami Pink and White Columbine - Extra large flowers with rose petals and white corollas. Enormous 2-3 inch flowers cover the compact, 16-20 inch tall plants. Their flowering season is much longer than most columbines.
Aquilegia is a large genus with many species and varieties. The flowers are known for their nectar-bearing spurs although some species are spurless. All species attract hummingbirds. The species A. caerulea is the state flower of Colorado. The roots and shoots of Columbine are highly toxic, but Native Americans did garnish their food with very small amounts of it as a flavor enhancer and to treat ulcers. It said to taste sweet.
