Long-Spurred Aquilegia. 
(Columbine) 
Columbine. Aquilegia. —Perennial. Height 1 to 2 
feet. One of the prettiest perennials. Flowers in shades 
of blue and yellow. The Rocky Mountain Columbine, with 
blue flowers, is one of the best. Blossoms from May to 
August. Grown from seed. Prefers a partially shaded 
location. Columbine deserves a place in every flower 
garden. It is one of the inconsistencies of Nature that 
this shrub which is native to cool mountainous regions 
should thrive in Kansas.
