Blooming from late spring to early summer beautiful combinations of white, pink, blue, yellow, pink, pale blue, purple and scarlet, with crisp coloured outer petals, and cream/white coloured inner petals.

Planting Instructions:

Plant the columbine seeds in moist soil in a warm, sunny indoor location. It will take the seeds about 30 days to germinate. The seedlings need 16 hours of light, so a grow light is recommended. Once the seedlings develop a pair of true leaves and have reached 3 to 4 inches tall, pot them up into larger containers. Harden off the plants for two weeks before transplanting them in the garden.
