Growing Tips, Tricks and FAQs
Growing Tips
Barlow Double columbine is an heirloom variety that grows best in cool climates. It prefers partial shade to full sun in cooler regions and grows best in loose, well-draining soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0-7.0). Keep it consistently moist, but avoid waterlogging.
When to Grow
Direct sow seeds in place 3-4 weeks before the last frost date in your region or start indoors 6-8 weeks before the last spring frost. It usually blooms in its second year after establishing strong roots in its first growing season.

How to Sow and Plant
Place the seeds in moistened trays and put them in the fridge for 3-4 weeks before sowing. After stratification, sow seeds 1/8-1/4 inch deep in seed trays or directly in the garden. Keep the soil evenly moist during germination, which typically takes 21-36 days at 65-70 F. If starting indoors, provide bright, indirect light. Space the plants 10-12 inches apart to give them enough room to grow.
How to Grow
Columbine prefers moist but well-draining soil. Water deeply when the top inch of soil dries out. Avoid overwatering, as soggy conditions can lead to root rot. Fertilize lightly in early spring using a balanced, slow-release fertilizer to encourage healthy growth. Avoid excessive nitrogen, which may cause leafy growth at the expense of flowers. Deadhead spent blooms regularly to keep the plants blooming for longer. While generally low-maintenance, columbine can is sometimes affected by leaf miners. Be sure to remove any affected foliage.
