Acer's Plant of the Month: Aquilegia
Zone 3-9, Height: 18”, Spread: 12”-24"
These lovely woodland plants do best in a location with partial sun or dappled shade. Give them well-draining soil, not too wet, with lots of room to spread. Water when the soil is dry; monthly light fertilizing will encourage thick foliage. Once established, this perennial will readily multiply and self-sow. Regular deadheading will encourage repeat bloom. Columbines are available in a wide range of colors and are a great favorite with hummingbirds and bees. The plants will also do well in containers but will need more frequent watering.
