INTRODUCING COLUMBINE SEEDS
Rocky Mountain columbine, or Aquilegia Caerulea, is beloved for its graceful blue flowers and soft, divided leaves. The flowers typically bloom in late spring to early summer, providing an early burst of color. They also attract beneficial pollinators such as hummingbirds and butterflies. These columbines are native from Montana to Arizona. They can grow in a range of climates from USDA hardiness zones 3 to 9.
PLANTING COLUMBINE SEEDS
To cultivate columbine flower seeds, sow them directly in the garden. It’s advised to do it in fall or early spring because the cold period helps break the seed dormancy, initiating germination. Plant seeds on the surface of the soil, allowing light for germination. Keep the soil moist until seedlings emerge, usually in 3 to 4 weeks. Columbines grow relatively slowly, but once established, they will self-seed and naturalize in the garden for a yearly display.
MAINTAINING COLUMBINE PLANTS
Columbines require little maintenance once established. They enjoy being evenly moist and benefit from fertile soil. Removing dry flowers can encourage a second blooming, preventing excessive self-seeding at the same time. Over time, columbines can form large clumps that can be divided. Replant them to rejuvenate the plants and spread them to other garden areas.
