AQUILEGIA - Columbine 
Culture. Columbines succeed in ordinary soils containing plenty of 
humus, provided by dressings of peat and well-decayed manure. Heavy 
soils are not suitable for the hybrids, but good for the common 
species. All prefer partial shade; besides, the flowers develop better, 
grow larger, and last longer in perfection in partial shade than in 
sun. Plant in fall or spring, 8 to 10 inches apart. Best grown in groups 
of three or more. Excellent combined with Japanese Anemone.
