About This Variety
Meet This Variety
Columbine (Aquilegia vulgaris) is a perennial garden plant suited to garden borders and beds. Grow it in partial shade with fertile soil that stays moist without becoming waterlogged and steady care while seedlings establish.
Sow at the crop's appropriate depth in a prepared bed or container, using the recommended germination range to guide seed starting. Keep the soil evenly moist, then remove spent flowers as needed to keep the planting tidy.
