description for "Columbine: Aquilegia chrysantha 'Yellow Queen'"
Golden columbine is native to the canyons of New Mexico, Arizona, Texas, and southern Colorado. This is one of the most widely adapted of all columbines. A vigorous grower, it combines excellent heat tolerance and mildew resistance with a long display of fragrant yellow flowers in late spring. A good re-bloomer if promptly deadheaded. Quite sun tolerant at higher elevations. Try under planting with a carpet of pink Saponaria ocymoides or blue-flowered perennials to make it pop. -- edited by dtd pbcouchman
