Planting Instructions:
-
-
- Location:Plant Columbines in a location with partial shade to full sun, especially in cooler regions like Montana. They prefer well-drained soil with good organic content.
- Planting:Sow Columbine seeds directly into the garden in early spring or late fall. Press the seeds lightly into the soil surface and keep them consistently moist until germination occurs.
- Spacing:Space Columbine plants about 12 to 18 inches apart.
- Care:Water newly planted Columbines regularly until established. Once established, they are relatively low-maintenance and drought-tolerant. Deadhead spent flowers to promote continuous blooming and prevent self-seeding if desired. Cut back the foliage after flowering to promote a neat appearance.
