300+ Seeds per Pack!
This multi-coloured variety has many uses and can be planted both in light shade to full sun locations. Since columbines are a perennial, your flowerbed work will be reduced as these plants withstand the cold winter months and bloom again next year. Hummingbirds and bees will be your visiting friends.
800 seeds/gram. For best results chill seed for 3 to 4 weeks at 5 C (40 F) prior to sowing. Start early indoors in a soil-less mix. Keep at 20-22 C (70-75 F) for the 21-25 day germination period then grow on under lights at a cooler temperature before hardening off and transplanting outside. Seed can also be sown directly into the garden in June or again in August and early September for bloom the following year. Do not cover seed as light is beneficial for germination. Columbine prefers moist soil in light shade but will tolerate full sun except for hot, dry areas. Plant 30-45 cm (12-18") apart, feed monthly and keep well watered.
