Grows up to 3’ tall. The large flowers attract butterflies, bumblebees, and hummingbirds. Tags: Color: Purple, Size: Medium, Season: Spring, Summer.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis European columbine made its way to Eastern North America and is found wild in fields, roadsides, waste areas, abandoned homesteads, and forest edges. Its genus name, Aquilegia, is derived from the Latin word for eagle’s claw, in reference to the claw-like groups of seeds, or its curling flower nectar spurs. ##Idyllwild##Conventional##Seed grower since 2018####Idyllwild was born of our joyful curiosity and celebration of nature’s diverse gifts. Following nature’s model of open dispersal and dissemination, we share these seeds with you and invite you to play in the garden of abundance. We learn from nature and she has taught us to live and think in terms of “abundance” instead of “scarcity”. Diversity - in all forms, from genetic to creative expression - is the heart of resilience. We enjoy experimenting with myriads of flavors, colors, and textures and the world opens to us in infinite possibilities. As a result, we are nourished in body, mind, and spirit.","brand":"RESTORATION SEEDS","offers":[{"title":"100 Seeds","offer_id":40480453525546,"sku":"","price":4.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1000 Seeds","offer_id":40480453558314,"sku":"","price":22.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0129\/8922\/products\/columbine-2.jpg?v=1673586482","url":"https:\/\/www.restorationseeds.mom\/products\/european-purple-columbine","provider":"RESTORATION SEEDS","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
