Comments: Columbine is an Oklahoma native woodland perennial that adds grace and charm to any shade garden. The gray-green leaves have a soft texture. In late spring, showy bell-like flowers appear with unique spurred tubes that point up. This plant is attractive to hummingbirds and long-tongued insects. In the garden it will spread quickly by self-seeding.
