Aquilegia - Columbine

A large group of perennial plants in the Crow-Foot family, RANUNCULACEAE. 70 species at least with 21 species in the US, hybrids are common and so is variation do to isolation. 100's of garden selections have been produced, many going back many years. Many F1, hybrids now are on the market with uniform habit and flower color.

Plants have slender woody rhizomes and tend to be short lived, 3 to 6 years for most, producing good numbers of large black seeds that readily self sow were happy. Some like full sun and others like open shade but the middle is best for most. Moist well drained soils. Starting plants from seeds is not difficult but often requires an investment in time and a period of cool moist stratification. The species more so than the highly selected varieties, which have had some or most of the dormancy needs breed out. Plants mostly will not bloom until the second year, with a few exceptions. We have had good results sowing seeds in mid summer and producing nice blooming plants the next spring. Breeders are also working on this too with a few varieties now first year blooming.

Every garden should have some plants, with their large showy flowers. A number are nice rock garden subjects, some easy to grow and others a challenge, the larger forms work well in any garden soil and make nice fresh cut flowers for the table. when growing more than one type or species crossing is the rule, and sometimes with surprisingly good results but sometimes disagreeable progeny is produced too.

A nice species Aquilegia to grow and easy to raise.

The species name means 'Dark' or 'blackened.' Surface sow seeds onto moist seed mix and seal up n a plastic bag and put in the fridge for three weeks then move to a brightly light location and use F. 70 for germination in 1-3 weeks. One can also sow seeds in a bag with one table spoon of damp seed mix and put in the fridge, then sow into a pot after three weeks for germination.
