A stunning series of Aquilegia hybrids originally created by the legendary Colorado Columbine king Charlie Weddle, their modest height plus generous displays of relatively large and mostly upward-facing flowers have quickly made the Songbirds a gardeners' favorite. Our well-matched trio features three superb colors. One each of 'Cardinal' (a red-and-white bicolor), 'Dove' (pure white), and 'Goldfinch' (pale primrose).

Lacy greens and dancing, late-spring blooms characterize these lovely border plants. Columbines make excellent cut flowers if picked when half open. Grow in full sun or partial shade (required in the South and in western Zones 9 and 10) and average garden soil. Propagation is by seed, so color, while quite reliable, cannot be guaranteed.
