Blue Star Columbine has fancy-lobed, dusky blue-green leaves and blue and white spurred flowers. Blue Star Columbine is highly attractive to hummingbirds and butterflies. Blue Star Columbine is a wonderful addition to the summer border and will flower all summer if deadheaded. Blue Star Columbine is a remarkably beautiful, superb domesticated wildflower for the shady garden in spring to early summer. With violet-blue petals with a pure white corolla, the flowers have elegant long spurs and tidy mounds of fern-like foliage.
