Winky Red & White Columbine is a heavy bloomer that boasts some of the showiest and most beautiful flowers. The upright-facing flowers have long reddish-purple spurs surrounding white-tipped corollas or inner petals. Aquilegia is a prolific bloomer that puts on a show from spring until early summer. The flowers are contrasted by dark green, deeply lobed foliage.
Columbine has an upright growth habit and maintains a relatively compact footprint. Feature this beauty is border, beds, or mass plantings. Its easy-care nature makes the Winky Red & White Columbine a good choice for a container, and it will add vibrant color early in the season to a porch or outdoor area. While the flowers are lovely to admire, they are also favored by pollinators like butterflies and hummingbirds. This plant grows as a perennial in USDA zones 4 through 8.
Winky Red & White Columbine Care
Select a spot with full to partial sun for this stunner. Full sun during the spring will encourage this fast-grower to get to work and push out beautiful flowers. This plant will be completely content with partial sun later in the growing season. Soil should be moist but still allow for drainage. Columbine plants need water when the top layer of the soil starts to dry out. Support healthy growing and an abundant bloom cycle by feeding the plant a balanced fertilizer every 3 to 4 weeks, beginning in the spring.
Remove spent flowers to prevent the Winky Red & White Columbine from self-seeding. Deadheading the plant will also keep it looking tidy. Leave the greenery in place even after the flowers fade so the plant can prepare for the next growing season. Trim back all of the growth to the basal leaves in the fall.
Winky Red & White Columbine Spacing
This Columbine will reach 12 to 14 inches tall and wide. The Winky cultivar is mildew tolerant, but space plants 14 inches apart so air can circulate around the foliage.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
