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.

I planted it a month ago and it is growing nicely with lots and lots of new flowers. I've been pretty good about dead-heading, but aside from that, I have done nothing to it, other than give it a dose of fertilizer when I first planted it. It is growing in heavy soil in 2 different places: 1 with mostly shade, the other with mostly sun, they both seem happy. |
