It is a Columbine. |

All species are quite hardy, but many also tolerate hot summers (e.g., southern California). Some grow wild in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado, and there is a wild species (Aquilegia vulgaris) native to Europe. The plants require good drainage but are otherwise not fussy about soil. They tend to be short-lived. Both hybrids and species readily reseed, which is good in a garden because then seedlings replace the older plants. -- David E.
