This Maroon White Columbine has a large sky-blue flower with a white corolla. It's a long bloomer and will add a dreamy charm to any flower border or container.
Sow Columbine seeds in starter trays indoors 6 - 8 weeks before the last expected frost. Press the flower seed into the soil but do not cover it. Light is beneficial to germination.
Columbine flower seed can be directly sown into prepared seedbeds with loosened, weed-free soil after the frost season has passed. Sow the Columbine seed in groups of 3 - 4, and space the seed groups 16 inches apart. Thin to the strongest plant.
