The plant is a flowering evergreen hardwood shrub or small multi-trunked tree, growing from 2.4–5.5 metres (8–18 ft) in height and 1.8–3.0 m (6–10 ft) in width. The 1–5 cm (3 ⁄ 8 –2 in) leaves are olive to gray−green, fuzzy and flannel-like, palmately to pinnately lobed. The hairs covering the leaves are easily brushed off in ...
Trunks may reach 1.5–1.8 m (5–6 ft) in diameter near the base of the tree. [5] The leaf is approximately 0.3 m (1 ft) long, with 13–21 leaflets per leaf, each 5–12.5 centimetres (2–5 in) long, with dentate margins. [4] The vein axils bear tufts of hair underneath, [4] differentiating the species from the Southern California walnut.
It will grow to a height of 40–50 cm (15–20 in). It will grow in full sun; however, it prefers growing in partial shade and well drained soil, and is able to tolerate average soils and dry soil conditions. Columbine is rated at hardiness zone 3 in the United States so does not require mulching or protection in the winter. [15] [16]
It can grow in loam and clay, if provided with adequate drainage and frequent dryness. [7] Moisture level demands and tolerance depend upon the subspecies and possibly ecotype . The plant has a deep taproot, so it needs to have the deepest-possible pot if grown in a container and should not be waterlogged.
