The delicate deep green leaves serve as a patterned backdrop for bonnet-shaped flowers, often two-tone and with long graceful spurs. This plant’s flowers boast a variety of shades, ranging from pink to dark lavender, yellow, rose, claret and pale blue. The flowers are pollen and nectar-rich, and attract bees and hummingbirds. They flower in early summer. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePerennial\/ Deciduous\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eZones: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e3-8\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eGrows 3 feet in height with a spread of 12 inches.\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e    \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLight: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003ePartial shade is best \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSoil: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eColumbines prefer well-drained and moist soil, but adapt well to either clay or sandy soil, heavy or light soil.
