Columbine is a spring favorite for hummingbirds, butterflies, and other pollinators, providing a nectar source when there is little else in bloom. Great for shady areas. Columbine will spread easily by seed and is considered to be a short-lived perennial—meaning it will often disappear where you plant it, and reappear throughout the garden!

Also available in 12-packs of plugs here
