I’m not sure if I planted it or if it’s a weed lol
thanks
That is Columbine--both the pink and purple. It does well in shade/part shade, though some can take more sun, but not all day hot sun. There are many varieties of flower colors and forms, including bi-colors, and also variations in leaf shapes. I LOVE columbine! It is a perennial, (returns year after year) with self seeding and original plants returning. If there are too many plants (hard to imagine!) they are easy to pull out. I would often cut off flower stems as they faded & shriveled to extend the blooming thru much of summer, but as the HOT summer arrived, I'd let the seed pods form for plants the following year, and also would harvest some seed pods when fully dry, as friends were always wanting some.
Looks like honey suckle but different color lol
They are columbine. If you don't pick off the seed pods after they are done flowering, you will have even more next year. They tend to like to grow in a semi shady location.
Flower looks like granny bonnets . Look them up and check it out. They are gorgeous
I say it's columbine. Lydia's answer was very complete!
Looks like columbine. The seeds can travel. T flower color can vary from the mother plant.
Thanks to everyone! It is appreciated !
I think they are columbine
For sure they are Columbine and I have them popping up in the most weird places. I often take the plants that aren't where they are wanted and replant them in my garden where they flourish. Good luck with yours.
