General information about Columbine (Aquilegia):Columbines (Aquilegia) are clump forming plants for in a humus rich soil in the half-shade to full sun. Most species are shades of blue but also available are red, white and yellow. Columbine happily self-seeds, which is a good thing as the plants usually only lives for a few years. The flowers of the seedling are often a different colour than that of the parent. Let yourself be surprised! If you do not want this, cut away the flower stems straight after flowering. This will also help the plant live longer. As the foliage of Columbine, after flowering, often does not look good anymore, a good idea is to plant it amongst other plants, such as Cranesbill (Geranium), Coral Bells (Heuchera), Jacob's Ladder (Polemonium), Great Forget-me-not (Brunnera) and Bellflower (Campanula).European columbine - Aquilegia vulgaris
