Denver Gold Columbine
Denver Gold columbine is native to the canyonlands in the southwest United States. It is a vigorous bloomer with cheerful, long-spurred, yellow flowers on tall stems. If the spent flowers are cut off, it will rebloom.
The leaves are deeply lobed and form an attractive mound of foliage. It thrives in both hot, dry areas and part-shade locations, making it an adaptable perennial for Colorado Springs landscapes.
Denver Gold columbine tends to perform much better in Colorado Springs landscapes than the native blue columbine, which grows naturally in moist mountain meadows.
