Also known as Eastern Red Columbine and Wild Columbine, this herbaceous perennial grows erectly with uniquely bell-shaped, red flowers. The backward-pointing tubes of the flowers contain nectar, greatly attracting hummingbirds, butterflies, and other long-tongued insects. This plant grows best in full sun, and moist, well-drained, sandy soils, reaching a height of up to 2 feet.
