Planting Guide
When to Plant
Plant in the Spring after the threat of frost has passed.
Where to Plant
Columbines are a highly adaptable flower. They do well in many climates and sun conditions, but they will bloom best in full sun to light shade. Plus, columbines are deer resistant, and birds and butterflies love the nectar found in the tip of the petal’s thin spur!
How to Plant
While not required, Columbine seeds can benefit from a special 4 week treatment called cold moist stratification prior to planting them. Learn more about the importance and process of cold moist stratification here. After stratification, remove the seeds, and place them outdoors in a sunny location or under grow lights and allow them to germinate (21 to 28 days). If sowing outdoors: In the early spring (3 to 4 weeks before the last frost), sow your columbine seeds on top of lightly raked soil. They do not need to be covered. Your columbine seeds will germinate in around 21 days. If starting indoors, plant columbine seeds 6 weeks before the average last spring frost. Columbines are perennials that are hardy to zones 3 to 8 or 9, depending on variety.
How to Care for
When flowers begin to fade, dead head to allow for fresh blooms. When the season is over, cut down to the ground.
