Denver Gold Columbine

Denver Gold Columbine (Aquilegia chrysantha) brings a splash of sunshine to shaded corners and woodland gardens with its large, bright yellow blooms that seem to glow against their soft green foliage. These cheerful flowers are a magnet for hummingbirds and bees, adding life and movement to your garden just as spring shifts into summer. With their graceful form and long spurs, they add a touch of elegance to native and ornamental landscapes alike.

This cultivar thrives in mountain regions and adapts well to Utah’s varied climates. It's a fast grower that doesn't demand much—just give it a bit of shade and regular water while establishing. Once settled, it's surprisingly tough and can handle dry periods with ease. A perfect choice for naturalized plantings, pollinator gardens, or partly shaded beds.
