How to Grow
Sow Columbine seeds in starter trays indoor 6 - 8 weeks before last expected frost. Press Aquilegia flower seed into the soil but do not cover it. Light is beneficial to germination. Columbine seeds can also be directly sown into prepared seed beds with loosened, organic matter free soil after 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. Aquilegia Hybrida care includes following a regular watering schedule during the first growing season to establish a deep, extensive root system. Cutting back old stems encourages repeat blooms.
