Western Columbine

Western columbine is a striking perennial wildflower native to western North America, thriving in moist meadows, streambanks, and open woodlands. It is easily recognized by its nodding, red-and-yellow spurred flowers that bloom from late spring to summer and attract hummingbirds, bees, and butterflies. With finely divided foliage and an elegant form, it is both ecologically valuable and visually distinctive. Adaptable to part shade and moist soils, this species plays an important role in supporting pollinators in forest and riparian ecosystems.
