Columbine is a hardy perennial, which propagates by seed. It will grow to a height of 15–20 in. It will grow in full sun; however, it prefers growing in partial shade and well-drained soil and is able to tolerate average soils and dry soil conditions. Columbine is rated at hardiness zone 3 in the United States so it does not require mulching or protection in the winter. The genus name Aquilegia comes from the Latin “Aquila”, or “eagle”; this is in obvious reference to the spurred, “hook” shapes within the blooms, that many gardeners say resemble an eagle's talons. The flowers of various species of columbine were consumed in moderation by Native Americans as a condiment with other fresh greens, and are reported to be very sweet, and safe if consumed in small quantities. The plant's seeds and roots, however, are highly poisonous and contain cardiogenic toxins which cause both severe gastroenteritis and heart palpitations if consumed as food. Native Americans used very small amounts of Aquilegia root as a treatment for ulcers. However, the medical use of this plant is better avoided due to its high toxicity; columbine poisonings may be fatal.
