Aquilegia flavescens aka Yellow Columbine

Aquilegia flavescens, commonly known as the yellow columbine, is a wildflower native to the Rocky Mountains region, specifically found in mountain meadows, open woods, and alpine slopes. This upright, clump-forming, deciduous perennial grows to a height of 20-70 cm and displays beautiful yellow flowers that can also feature hints of yellow-pink, raspberry pink, white, and cream. In cultivation, as a houseplant, the yellow columbine requires regular watering and thrives best in direct, long-lasting light, ideally positioned within a foot of a window. It prefers well-draining soil and does not usually require additional fertilizers if repotted whenever it doubles in size. Belonging to the Aquilegia genus, this rare plant is native to Western North America.
