Growing Non-GMO Columbine Origami Mix Flower Seeds

Origami Mix Columbine seeds have wildflower-like hardiness and are most commonly broadcasted directly in the fall or just after the frost. Columbine seeds thrive from an over-winter frost, but will still bloom just as hardily if started indoors 6-8 weeks before the final frost of the spring. Seeds will germinate in 14-21 days in full lighting and plants may reseed in the garden in optimal growing conditions. Plant 3-4 Origami Mix columbine seeds in organically rich, evenly moist, and well-drained soil in partial sun to partial shade. Seeds may also be broadcasted for a wildflower appearance. Origami Mix columbine seeds thrive in cool, shady gardens and will decline in early summer if exposed to long hours of direct heat. Do not let the soil dry out, but do not over-saturate either.

For earlier flowers, start the seeds indoors and transplant them once they have 2-4 true leaves and good roots. Columbine blooms from spring to summer in its second year and will die back at the first frost but return the following year. There is little need to fertilize unless the soil is barren. Use a diluted feed if necessary. Keep weeds down, especially while plants are young so they have a chance to establish roots and leaves. Cut back the spent blooms (deadhead) to prolong color and prevent reseeding if desired.

About Columbine Origami Mix Garden Seeds

Columbine will self-seed and volunteers will come up the following year if seeds are not collected. They rarely return true (meaning the new plant will not be exactly the same) so, we do not recommend allowing free reseeding.

All parts of this plant are poisonous to animals and humans.

The Origami Mix Columbine flower has 4-6 inch wide blooms of gorgeous florets.

Aquilegia caerulea, simply known as Columbine, is a bushy wildflower perennial native to the 6,000+ foot elevations of the Rocky Mountain regions including Montana, Idaho, and down into New Mexico and Arizona.

The genus Aquilegia earns its name from the Latin word meaning "eagle" because the bloom resembles an eagle's talon.

Columbine is the official state flower of Colorado and can also be known as Rocky Mountain Columbine.

Tips From Our Gardeners

”Columbine is dear to my heart because it reminds me of my mother. She has a lovely columbine plant above a small waterfall in her backyard garden located in North Eastern Wisconsin, and even though it gets lots of shade, it still flourishes."
