Perennial plants rule during the early months of spring, the unseasonably warm weather in zone 4 has ignited a frenzy of early blooms. Aquilegia, commonly known as Columbine is one of the most reliable perennial plants to bloom early. The Columbine thrives in high altitude regions, capable of surviving late spring snow showers and able to lure butterflies and humming birds in the months ahead. To initiate an early kick off to your unique garden setting, I suggest planting Aquilegia during the early spring months for many seasons of early blooms. Cheers
