Golden Spur Columbine

Wednesday's Story

The beauty of the unnoticed…

Unnoticed because it’s just a bud; a bud that we want to see in bloom. We want the full view, the colorful view. Today though, it’s a simple bud with leaves. But if I pause to take notice, I can see its many facets in its own unique time and space; teaching me to look beyond the anticipated and appreciate the moment I’m in.

points of interest

Bright and cheerful, distinctive bell-shaped flowers appear facing upward or horizontal from late spring to late summer. Composed of five, wide-spreading, light yellow sepals with five taller, golden yellow petals extending down with long, gently curving spurs. Plant is vigorous, forming erect clumps of rounded leaves divided into three blue-green, tri-lobed leaflets. Fragrant and attracts hummingbirds.

general care

Adaptable like most columbines. Grow in fertile, preferably moist, well-drained soil in full sun (cooler climates) or shade. Hybridizes and self-seeds readily. Resent disturbance.
