Little Lanterns Columbine forms a mound of delicate-looking blue-green foliage about 10 inches high and 12 inches wide. In mid-spring to late spring or early summer, thin-branched stems rise above the foliage, bearing abundant, downward-hanging, bell-shaped, bicolor scarlet red flowers with yellow corollas that hummingbirds and butterflies will flock to. If spent flowers are left on the plants, seeds will drop, and new plants will start growing, forming a colony. Finches and buntings will also appreciate the seeds. It tolerates full sun but thrives in partial shade, where it looks more at home. It is dry-shade tolerant when established, so it is perfect for growing under large shade trees. You might be happy to know the deer and rabbits leave it alone.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLandscape \u0026amp; Garden Uses\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eGrowing to 12 inches tall and wide, the Little Lanterns Columbine is ideal as an accent in small garden spaces and container gardens. It is lovely in groupings, drifts, and borders along paths and walkways or garden beds where space allows. The plant will naturalize beautifully in woodland borders if spent flowers are left on the stems. It is excellent solo or combined with other plants in pots, planters, and other containers. A fine addition to cottage gardens, red theme gardens, butterfly and hummingbird gardens, native gardens, wildflower gardens, or woodland gardens.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eSuggested Spacing:\u003c\/span\u003e  12 inches apart for mass plantings; 24 or more inches apart for space between plants.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGrowing Preferences\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eLittle Lanterns Eastern Red Columbine is easy to grow in moist, well-drained soil with average fertility in partial to mostly shade. It prefers humus-rich soil. With adequate soil moisture, full sun is tolerated in cool-summer climates of its range. In shade, it has good drought tolerance once established. Use a good or 50\/50 mixture of bagged potting mix and potting soil when planting in containers. If the plants are cut back to the basal growth after flowering, they'll often bloom again.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePlant Long \u0026amp; Prosper!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMeet The Wilson Brothers \u0026amp; Staff \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eQuestions?\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan\u003eContact Us!\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e                                                                                                                                                                      \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48147970785434,"sku":"D2LSC 297980046","price":26.58,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0751\/3263\/3242\/files\/aquilegia-canadensis-little-lanterns-columbine-16_1d5484f4-d68f-4401-9f3e-35fbb4ebfe43.jpg?v=1779972027","url":"https:\/\/plant.hcgardenus.com\/products\/little-lanterns-eastern-red-columbine-aquilegia-1-gallon-pot","provider":"Royal Horticultural Society","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
