Aquilegia Species, Serpentine Columbine, Sticky Columbine, Van Houtte Columbine

I searched-and-searched for so long for this particular aquilegia, I personally think the eximia is the best of its kind. I finally foun...Read Mored it and purchased a couple 1gal pots from digging dog., they normally have very great quality plants... but... not this time. I was so bummed when I saw them, the plants were in very poor condition (to say the least) one didn't make it, and the other was mostly dead, it was early winter, and what was saveable (alive) was about the size of a silver dollar and had mould...I resurrected it despite the fact that had one foot in the grave, and now have it in full Sun... It's now very strong and has 3 trunks and is over 1ft tall and wide! it's now doing awesome! it will be blooming this early summer! I gave it a positive experience because it has such a great history lol

This plant is a U.S. native and grows in California.
