Seed Preparation:

Aquilegia seeds have hard seed coats. To enhance germination, soak the seeds in water for 24 hours before planting.

Sowing:

Start seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost date, or sow directly outdoors after the danger of frost has passed.

Sow seeds thinly on the surface of moist soil and lightly press them into the soil.

Germination:

Germination usually takes 20-30 days at temperatures between 65-75°F (18-24°C).

Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.

Transplanting:

When seedlings have 2-3 true leaves, transplant them into individual pots or into the garden.

Space plants 12-18 inches (30-45 cm) apart.

Care and Maintenance:

Aquilegia prefers regular watering, especially during dry spells, but avoid overwatering.

Apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring and after flowering.

Deadhead spent blooms to encourage prolonged flowering.

Cut back foliage after flowering to encourage a second flush of blooms.

Mulch around plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
