Columbine Seeds grow into perennial, clumping plants with delicate, fern-like foliage and distinctive, spurred flowers in a range of colors including blue, purple, pink, red, yellow, and white. They thrive in temperate climates with full sun to partial shade and well-draining soil. Columbines are ideal for garden beds, borders, and woodland gardens, providing long-lasting blooms from late spring through early summer and attracting pollinators such as bees and hummingbirds.
