Know before you buy
Unlike traditional columbines that often nod or hang their heads, the Kirigami series features blooms that face upward. This makes the flowers much more visible and prominent in your garden beds or floral arrangements.
These are raw, untreated seeds, so they do not require any special handling. You can sow them directly into your starting medium following the recommended soil temperature of 70-75°F.
The recommended planting method for this variety is transplanting. It is best to start them indoors and move them to your garden once they are established to ensure the best germination results.
For optimal performance, sow these seeds in the fall. This timing allows the plants to establish themselves so you can enjoy their vibrant, mixed-color blooms by the following spring.
Given their habit of 12-20 inches in spread, you should space your plants at least 15 to 20 inches apart. This ensures adequate airflow and gives them enough room to reach their full height of 14-24 inches.
Yes, Aquilegia Kirigami is a perennial variety. Once established, these plants will return to your garden year after year.
