Suggestions Chevron Down Chevron Forward
Growing Suggestions:
  • Columbine plants arent too particular about soil as long it fts well-draining and not too dry.
  • Regularly removing spent flowers, known as deadheading will promote continuous blooming and encourage the growth of fresh buds. This practice can extend the flowering period as long as 6 weeks into midsummer.
  • Harvest flowers for indoor arrangements when they are half open.
