Growing and Maintenance Tips
Columbine grows best in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-drained soil with moderate moisture. Plants perform well in cooler climates and benefit from some afternoon shade in warmer areas. Removing spent flowers may encourage additional blooming and reduce self-seeding. This hardy perennial is easy to grow and adds early-season colour and fine texture to mixed perennial plantings.
