Beidermeier Columbine

Aquilegia 'Biedermeier'

Beidermeier Columbine is a compact  native wildflower  perennial with three lobed medium green biternate foliage.  This is a strain with four pastel color options- red. pink, blue, and white and has a heavy bloom of the small drooping flowers in spring attracting hummingbirds.  Removing stems after flowering may encourage another bloom.  Flowers best in  filtered sun and rich well-drained soils. 

MAINTENANCE NEEDS: Low Maintenance.  Leaf miner can be a serious pest, and watch for aphids.  Potential disease issues include powdery mildew and rust.  Foliage often declines mid summer, at which point should be cut to the ground.
LANDSCAPE USES:  Accents or Group Plantings,  Borders,  Naturalized Areas,  Wildlife Garden,  Rock Gardens,  Woodland Gardens, and Containers.

COMPANION PLANTS:  White Wood Aster,  Bleeding Hearts,  Foam Flower
