HOW TO PLANT MCKANA GIANT COLUMBINE FROM SEED

WHEN TO PLANT COLUMBINE SEEDS

• Plant in the Spring after the threat of frost has passed.

WHERE TO PLANT COLUMBINE SEEDS

• Columbines are a highly adaptable flower.
• They do well in many climates and sun conditions, but they will bloom best in full sun to light shade.
• Plus, columbines are deer resistant, and birds and butterflies love the nectar found in tip of the petal?s thin spur!

HOW TO PLANT COLUMBINE SEEDS

• For best results, put columbine seeds in the refrigerator for 24 hours prior to planting.
• Another, slightly more intensive way to stratify (a process of breaking seeds? dormancy by subjecting them to moist/cold treatments) your seeds is to first, sow them into a container filled with moist soil.
• Next, place the container in a plastic bag and refrigerate or freeze it for 3 weeks.
• Finally, remove the seeds, and place them outdoors in a sunny location or under grow lights and allow them to germinate (21 to 28 days).
• If sowing outdoors: In the early spring (3 to 4 weeks before the last frost), sow your columbine seeds on top of lightly raked soil.
• They do not need to be covered. Your columbine seeds will germinate in around 21 days.
• If starting indoors, plant columbine seeds 6 weeks before the average last spring frost.
• Columbines are perennials that are hardy to zones 3 to 8 or 9, depending on variety.
