Description
The flowers on Desert Columbine are red-yellow, and the foliage is similar to formosa but more gray and with triple-divided leaves. This columbine is native to the upper Mojave Desert mountains, to the Nevada border, and appears much grayer than the other Aquilegia species. Use the gray in a moist garden for contrast or for transition from a moist garden to a sunny, dry garden. Desert Columbine would be effective with Salix exigua, Oenothera caespitosa and Rosa woodsii ultramontana. This species, which is now considered to be Aquilegia formosa (Jepson Manual), grows naturally in seeps. In our area, swallowtails visit this plant for the rich flower nectar.
