The perennial columbine, also known as Granny's Bonnet, blooms from mid-spring to early summer. Columbine are known for their bell-shaped, spurred flowers, which range in color from light pastels to bright reds, yellows, oranges, purples, and bi-colors. The leaves have a lacy appearance. The flowers are very attractive butterflies, bees, moths, and hummingbirds. Columbine self-seeds and will produce many volunteer seedlings.
Instruction how to grow columbine:
Sow seeds indoors 6 to 8 weeks before the last expected frost or direct sow into prepared beds with rich, well-drained soil after the last spring frost.
Press the flower seed into the soil, but do not cover with soil.
Thin to the strongest plants.
Columbine grows best in full sun or light shade.
If planting a container plant, dig a hole twice the diameter of the pot the plant is in.
Place the plant in the hole so the top of the root ball is level with the soil surface.
Fill in around the plant and firm the soil gently.
Space mature plants 1 to 2 feet apart, depending on the variety.
Water thoroughly.
Do not overwater.
Deadhead faded flowers and new buds will develop along the stems. The bloom season can be extended by as long as six weeks.
Cut back foliage to the ground in the fall.
When the ground is frozen, mulch to protect plants.
