Cultivation:
Columbine Music Mix is a hybrid Columbine selection
from Park Seed Company. The mix contains four vivid colors which
flower mid to late spring with some flowers hanging on until mid
summer. Butterflies and Hummingbirds are attracted to this mix. Plant Music Mix Columbines in full sun to
partial shade in fertile, moist well drained soil. Shade from
summer heat is very beneficial to the plants vigor.
Propagation: This perennial can easily be grown from seed.
Sow seeds indoors 6 to 8 weeks prior to last frost then transplant
to beds after danger of frost has passed. Columbine Music Mix
should begin to flower during the first season with the best
showing the following seasons.
For quicker results purchase pre-started Columbine plants at your local
Garden Center or greenhouse. Space new
container grown plants 18" - 24" apart. Columbine is difficult to
transplant as the plants roots dislike being disturbed once
established.
Potential pests ~ diseases: Aphids or powdery mildew as
summer nights turn cool.
