Earlybird™ï¸ Yellow Columbine, Aquilegia x Earlybird™ produces sprays of soft-yellow, delightful, upright-facing flowers on compact stems that are sure to gain attention in the garden. Earlybird™ Yellow Columbine has a compact, mounding shape with short stems that showcase the cheerful, yellow flowers. This easy-to-grow perennial blooms in early spring throughout summer with a 10-12-day flowering window in US Hardiness Zones 4-9. This columbine is excellent grown in containers and for cut-flowers in arrangements. 

Earlybird Yellow Columbine attracts butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees, while deer and rabbits tend to ignore them. This compact, cheerful perennial grows 10-12 inches in height with an 8-10-inch spread.

Earlybird™ï¸ Yellow Columbine Care

Plant Earlybird Yellow Columbine in partial or dappled sun, with about 4 to 6 hours of sunlight per day, in rich, well-draining soil. Avoid planting it in a spot where the flowers receive direct sunlight, particularly if you are in a southern location. Keep the soil of newly planted Earlybird consistently moist. Fertilize once a month during the growing season with a bloom-boosting, water-soluble fertilizer. Remove spent flowers to encourage further blooming. 

Earlybird Yellow Columbine is an excellent choice to grow in containers due to its compact size; be sure there are adequate drainage holes in the pot. Earlybird becomes more drought tolerant once fully established. 

Earlybird™ï¸ Yellow Columbine Spacing

Earlybird looks lovely planted at the front edge of a partial shade or woodland garden, and is well suited to cottage gardens. Space plants 10 -12” from each other in groupings for a big impact.
