AQUILEGIA (Columbine) 


These are one of the universal garden favorites, one of the best greenhouse 
plants, and make just about the best cut flowers. The gorgeous flowers are 
freely produced from mid-summer until frost, growing around three feet 
tall, with flower spikes about 12 inches long. Plants carry over the winter 
in warm climates, but for best flowers, new plants should be grown. 
In cold climates, start seed under glass in March or April and transplant to 
garden when seedlings are about 4 inches. In warm climates seed can be 
planted outdoors when danger of frost is over. Pinch tops for sturdier plants.
