DENVER GOLD^® columbine

A particularly showy race of the golden columbine of the southern Rockies. The huge, yellow flowers can be over three inches across and the spurs are even longer. The plants often bloom from May to autumn frost and self sow generously. Perennial. Read more here.

Tips from the pros: Remove spent flowers in late June to encourage longer blooming. Foliage often declines in mid-summer so cut it back to the ground and allow it to regrow for fall. Best planted in masses since they can smother smaller plants. May self-seed. Tolerates dry shade.
