There’s an irresistible charm to the nodding, spurred blooms of Kirigami Red & White Columbine, which unfurl in crisp red-and-white bicolor just as spring settles into the garden. Held on slender stems above mounds of soft, ferny blue-green foliage, the intricately shaped flowers are a favorite of hummingbirds returning for the season. This tidy, clump-forming perennial reaches a polished foot to a foot and a half tall, making it a natural fit for the front of a partly shaded border or a woodland edge. It asks for little—dappled shade, average moisture, and well-drained soil—and rewards that ease with weeks of late-spring color. Deer and rabbits typically leave it alone, and it shrugs off the challenging soil near black walnut trees. Pair it with hostas, ferns, and other early bloomers for a fresh, cottage-style spring display.
