EarlyBird Yellow Columbine 1 Live Plant – Aquilegia ‘Earlybird Yellow’ – 1 Gallon Pot

EarlyBird™ Yellow Columbine (Aquilegia ‘Earlybird Yellow’) is a compact, spring-flowering perennial admired for its bright yellow blossoms and delicate, finely divided green foliage. The flowers feature the distinctive spurred form associated with columbines, with yellow petals and sepals creating a cheerful display above the leafy plant crown. Its early-season blooms add color and texture to perennial borders, cottage gardens, and mixed ornamental plantings.

Part of the EarlyBird™ series, this columbine is selected for its early flowering and compact, clump-forming growth habit. The plant produces slender flowering stems above its soft green foliage, creating an airy appearance without requiring a large planting area. Its flowers are attractive to visiting pollinators, including bees and hummingbirds, making it a useful addition to pollinator-friendly landscapes.

This listing includes one live EarlyBird™ Yellow Columbine in a 1 gallon nursery pot. The plant generally performs best in full sun to partial shade, with some afternoon shade beneficial in warmer climates. It prefers well-drained soil and moderate moisture. As a herbaceous perennial, it may arrive dormant, recently trimmed, or with reduced foliage depending on the season.
