Hardy Perennial. There aren't very many gardens that can't find a spot for a columbine and this cultivated variety is one of the best. Flowers come in a variety of colors (red, rose, blue, yellow, white, pink, crimson, bicolors) and are large and showy. They nod gracefully in the slightest breeze and will make an enchanting display. You should plan to raise new plants each season as the hybrid varieties are not long-lived, but they will self-sow and are also easy to grow from seed. Cut flower stems when they have finished flowering. 'McKana's Giants' is pictured.
