Editor's Note

Aquilegia is regarded as dangerous, in particular the seeds and roots. However, their acrid flavor generally helps to avoids poisonings.

The flowers of various species of Aquilegia were noted as historically being consumed with other fresh greens, and are reported to be very sweet, and safe if consumed in small quantities. The plant's seeds and roots are highly poisonous however, and contain cardiogenic toxins which cause both severe gastroenteritis and heart palpitations if consumed as food. However, this plant is better avoided due to its high toxicity; columbine poisonings may be fatal.

We tend to err on the side of caution in PlantFiles, and the danger notation in the details above is to warn gardeners, parents, and pet owners to look further for more information.
