Columbine – Winky Double Rose-White

Columbine seeds need cold stratification to germinate. You can sow seeds outdoors 4-6 weeks before your last average frost, or you can sprinkle seeds on a moist paper towel (not too wet) and store in a zip-lock bag in the refrigerate four weeks prior to sowing.

When sowing seeds, barely cover seeds as light aids in seed germination. Kept around 65-75° F, germination is in 20-30 days. Transplant into the garden 10-12″ apart. Note that columbine started from seed will not bloom until the 2nd year.
