Aquilegia chrysantha 'Denver Gold'
Columbine
'Denver Gold' offers huge yellow flowers with exceptionally long spurs that bloom heavily in spring. Often, Aquilegia 'Denver Gold' will rebloom summer through fall if flowers stems are cut back. As with many other columbines, 'Denver Gold' is graceful, with blue-green foliage and is a wonderful addition to formal or cottage gardens with its flowers at the center of attention. Columbine offers a wealth of flowers in sun or shade and sometimes will self sow without being annoying. ‘Denver Gold’ performs best in dappled sun to partial shade.
Additional:
Aquilegia comes from the Latin word for eagle in reference to the flower's five spurs that resemble an eagle's talon.
Columbine Growing and Maintenance Tips:
Little care is needed for success. Leave the fall basal growth alone to over-winter.
