Shelf Life: Best planted within 1 year for maximum germination
Planting Instructions:
Seed Preparation:
Aquilegia seeds benefit from a period of cold stratification to break dormancy. Place seeds in a moistened paper towel inside a sealed plastic bag and refrigerate for 3-4 weeks before sowing.
Sowing:
Sow seeds indoors in early spring or directly outdoors in late spring.
Indoors: Sow seeds in trays or pots filled with seed-starting mix, lightly covering them with soil. Keep the soil moist.
Outdoors: Sow seeds in a prepared seedbed, covering lightly with soil.
Germination:
Germination typically occurs in 3-4 weeks at temperatures around 60-68°F (15-20°C).
Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.
Transplanting:
Once seedlings have developed several true leaves, transplant them into individual pots or into the garden, spacing them 12-18 inches (30-45 cm) apart.
Care and Maintenance:
Watering: Keep the soil evenly moist, especially during dry spells.
Fertilizing: Feed with a balanced fertilizer once a month during the growing season.
Pruning: Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming and prevent self-seeding.
Winter Care: Mulch around plants in colder climates to protect the roots during winter.
