Columbine is one of my favorite super-low maintenance plants. They easily self seed, but are also perennial. They are at home in a shady woodland type setting, but can handle a wide range of sun/shade conditions.
The majority of my Columbine plants are from the ones I grew from seed over 10 years ago. They are mostly yellow (not my favorite) and a red/yellow mix ones. I wouldn’t go out of my way to add yellow flowers to my garden, but at this point, I am kind of attached to them, being as they were some of the first perennials I grew from seed.
Working at a greenhouse, I also added a few to my collection at that time. So as I dig all my plants up to keep them safe while our living situation is up in the air, I am documenting them here. I hope to have a better idea on their mature size and colors (with the seedlings, I won’t know the color unless it blooms in the pot) to put them in a better placement in the future. I also hope to inspire you to add some columbine to your own garden.
This is just going to be a super quick post. In the comments, add in any different columbines you like to grow, as well as any tips or tricks to growing these wonderful plants.
