About Wild, Columbine Seed
Wild Columbine (Aquilegia canadensis) is an eastern North American perennial with nodding red-and-yellow flowers in spring. It grows well in part shade to full sun on moist, well-drained slopes, woodland edges, and rock gardens. The early flowers provide nectar for hummingbirds, bees, and butterflies. Mature plants generally reach 1 to 3 feet tall and readily reseed in favorable sites.

Pests & Diseases
Powdery mildew, leaf spots, and crown or root rot can affect Columbine in crowded or wet sites. Provide airflow, water at the base, remove affected foliage, and keep the crown well drained.
Leaf miners commonly mark Columbine foliage, and aphids, sawfly larvae, slugs, or spider mites may also appear. Remove affected leaves or pests by hand and use targeted controls outside pollinator-active periods.
