These perennial columbines are birds right from paradise. Wearing vibrant colors in flaunt-it patterns contrasting with blue-white, they don¡¯t hang their heads: they rise and shine above the foliage. Sow from seed in the fall, admire blooms the first spring. ¡®Early Bird¡¯ loves a little shade¡ªand throws a lot of shade at duller plants.
