White Alba Columbine
Scientific name: Aquilegia vulgaris 'Alba'
Native to Europe
White Alba Columbine (Aquilegia vulgaris 'Alba') is a graceful perennial with pure white, nodding flowers in spring. The spurred blooms may be visited by hummingbirds, bumblebees, and other long-tongued pollinators, and the airy flower stems can also be used for cutting.
Plants perform well in part shade, including woodland-edge and shaded-border settings. In cooler summer climates, they can tolerate more sun. Under favorable conditions, plants may self-seed and gradually naturalize.
