Columbine - Aquilegia 

Columbine is a perennial known for its bold red and yellow flowers, which look like hanging lanterns. Its unique shape and vibrant colors make it a favorite of pollinators such as hummingbirds and butterflies. The plant brings life and beauty to any landscape.

If you want to add a splash of color to indoor or outdoor spaces, the plant is worth buying. It is relatively small, so you can put it anywhere on your property without crowding other shrubs or trees.

It tends to grow in clumps, meaning you can get multiple flowers and stems from a single seed or group of seeds. It will typically grow to about one to three feet in height. The flowers it produces can be almost any color, depending on the exact species that you happen to have. Standard colors include blue, pink, and yellow; in some cases, you may see multiple colors from the same one.

One of the critical benefits of planting this item in your garden is that it can attract deer, rabbits, and other forms of wildlife. However, they tend to be most attractive to deer or rabbits looking for food. Fortunately, they tend to resist these creatures, which means you can enjoy the scenery without worrying about having to relocate or replant your flowers.

Columbine Plants Are Great For Pollinators 

You will also notice that it is attractive to pollinators such as bees or hummingbirds. Ultimately, you can help other flowers in your yard or nearby areas thrive while having something fascinating to look at when you're outside each day.

Columbine Plant Does Well In Cold Weather

The growth cycle of it tends to be a relatively short one. Therefore, you will notice the rush of color in your garden and wherever you decide to put it. As they generally do well in cold weather, you can put them out almost whenever you want without ruining them.

A final benefit to buying the plant is that it creates new seeds quickly on its own. Therefore, you may notice multiple shoots on your property without investing much time and money.The plant also comes in hybrids that grow well in climates of any kind. The first, and perhaps the most crucial, need of the plants is a little shade during the warmer months and good drainage so roots don't get rotted. 

Plant the seeds after a frost or late fall. : Spread the seeds on the moist soil, then firmly plant them down; regularly water them until they sprout into seedlings. 

They're pretty easy to propagate as, once they open their blooms, they release seeds, which you need to plant in well-drained soil. Please note: The seeds are not very fast germinating so it could take weeks to notice results! 

Columbine is only able to last for about 2-3 years. But they self-seed and so live on in the garden for many years to come. Deadhead as much as possible for longevity.

Plant Reproduction

Columbine Plants spread primarily by self-seeding but can also spread by reseeding or replanting

Planting bare-root perennials is best in any season if they are dormant; we only sell dormant plants. Planting them year-round is also excellent if you can get dormant perennials. When your bare-root perennials arrive, soak the roots in water for a few hours to rehydrate them. Lant by digging a hole wide enough to spread the roots comfortably and deep enough to place the top portion crown (where the roots meet the stem) at or slightly above ground level. Position the plant in the hole, backfill with native soil, and gently firm the soil around the roots—water well after planting to settle the soil around the plant and eliminate air. Apply a 2-3 inch layer of mulch to keep weeds at bay and moisture locked in, keeping the mulch away from the crown. Irrigate plants regularly during the first few weeks of drought; never water in full sun, and water late in the evenings to ensure the roots are established well. Fertilize sparingly in the first year, using a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in subsequent years as needed.

Beautiful plant

These columbine plants were packed well in their little containers and looked healthy! I have them a quick rinse, dug some holes and put them directly into my native soil. I added a sprinkle of worm castings and topped them with wood chips. They are thriving and I can't wait to watch them bloom!
