With clear, bright-colored flowers, Columbine are sizable plants, growing up to 30\ or more. Their show in the garden can be truly spectacular. These famous Columbine flowers were bred by combining both the North American native columbines with others from abroad. Many people think columbines are the loveliest flowers of all, and they are certainly important in the wildflower world. Aquilegia Crimson Star is covered in bright, crimson-red flowers fronted by white corollas and a tuft of yellow stamens, they explode into color in late spring. Follow a regular watering schedule during the first growing season to establish a deep, extensive root system. Although the plants will perform admirably if left on their own, you can extend your season by cutting plants back to the basal foliage after they're done blooming. You'll probably get a second flush of growth followed by another crop of flowers. Your plant's health will also improve if you cut the foliage back in the fall and remove any dead leaves in the spring."
