Columbine 'William Guinness'

100 seeds

Sow Indoors: Start seeds indoors 8–10 weeks before the last frost. Use a light, well-draining seed-starting mix and lightly press the seeds onto the surface, as they need light to germinate.

Germination: Keep the soil moist and maintain a temperature of 65–70°F (18–21°C). Germination typically takes 2–3 weeks.

Transplant: Once seedlings are large enough to handle and the risk of frost has passed, harden them off and transplant them outdoors. Space them 12–18 inches apart.

Sunlight and Care: Columbines prefer partial shade and well-drained soil. Water regularly but avoid overwatering. Mulching can help retain moisture and suppress weeds.

Columbine 'William Guinness' is a striking variety with dark maroon to almost black flowers that attract pollinators like bees and hummingbirds. It adds a unique and dramatic touch to shaded gardens or borders.
