Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation: No special preparation needed, but stratification (exposure to cold temperatures) for 1-2 weeks can enhance germination rates.

Sowing: 

Sow seeds directly into the garden bed in early spring or late summer. Scatter seeds on the soil surface and lightly press them into the soil, as they require light to germinate.

Germination: 

Germination typically occurs within 20-30 days under optimal conditions of soil moisture and temperature (around 55-70°F).

Transplanting: 

Columbine seeds are best sown directly into the garden bed as they do not transplant well due to their delicate taproots. If starting indoors, use biodegradable pots to minimize root disturbance during transplanting.

Care and Maintenance: 

Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged during the germination period. Once seedlings emerge, thin them to allow proper spacing between plants (about 12-18 inches apart). Provide regular water during dry spells and mulch around plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage prolonged blooming. Divide clumps every 3-4 years to rejuvenate plants and prevent overcrowding. Watch for pests and diseases, and treat as necessary with appropriate methods or controls.

Happy gardening!
