Planting Instructions:
-
-
- Location:Plant columbines in a location with partial shade, especially in regions with hot summers like Washington. They prefer moist, well-drained soil.
- Planting:Sow columbine seeds directly into the garden in fall or early spring. Alternatively, plant nursery-grown seedlings. Space plants about 12 to 18 inches apart.
- Care:Water newly planted columbines regularly until established. Once established, they prefer consistent moisture but can tolerate short periods of drought. Deadhead spent blooms to promote continuous blooming and prevent self-seeding if desired. Divide overcrowded clumps every few years to rejuvenate plants.
