Columbine Earlybird Red and White (Aquilegia 'Earlybird Red and White')

Earlybird brings columbine's fairy-lantern flowers weeks ahead of the crowd - upward-facing bicolour blooms in crisp red and white, held over lacy blue-green foliage. Compact, early and utterly charming in the spring garden.

🌱 Why Gardeners Love Columbine Earlybird Red and White

✔ Extra-early flowers - blooming from late winter in mild areas.

✔ Upward-facing bicolours - red spurs over white corollas, faces to the sun.

✔ Compact and sturdy - tidy 30-40cm plants that never flop.

✔ Ferny foliage - delicate blue-green leaves pretty in their own right.

✔ Cool climate gem - relishes frost and mountain gardens.

🏡 How to Use Columbine Earlybird in Your Garden

✅ Spring borders - partners tulips, forget-me-nots and early perennials.

✅ Woodland edges - dappled light shows the bicolour beautifully.

✅ Pots & window boxes - early colour at close range.

Easy Planting & Care Guide

  • Position: Morning sun or dappled shade; cool, moist, well-drained soil.
  • Spacing: 25-30cm apart in drifts.
  • Best Planting Time: Autumn to early spring.
  • Watering & Care: Keep moist through spring. Deadhead to extend the show; cut foliage back hard mid-summer for a fresh flush.

❔ FAQs About Columbine Earlybird

Do columbines come back each year?
Yes - they are perennials that die down after summer and return with cool weather, often self-sowing gentle surprises around the parent.

Will it grow in warm climates?
Best from Sydney south and in hill districts; in warmer zones treat as a delightful cool-season annual.

Is it good for picking?
Lovely short-stemmed posies - pick just as buds open for the longest vase life.
