If you're looking for more native flower additions for your meadow garden, you will love this columbine. Native to Europes high meadows I can almost hear Julie Andrew voice atop the alps gathering flowers and singing. Violet hued flowers bloom atop slender stems that rise from a mound of fern like mound of foliage. Plant columbine in your shaded woodland garden with sword ferns, other columbines, hellebores, hydrangeas and heuchera!
