Columbine 'McKana Giants Mix'

Large, showy flowers in a wide range of colours—including white, cream, yellow, and red—bloom atop well-branched plants. Each bloom reaches 3–3½" across and features long, elegant spurs. A beautiful cut flower that helps bridge the gap between early spring and summer bouquets.

This mix is ideal for woodland plantings or any partly shaded location. Blooms in mid-spring to early summer, typically in the second year from a spring sowing. Attracts hummingbirds.

Deadhead seed pods before they open to prevent self-sowing.
Perennial in Zones 3–9.

How To Grow:

Transplant (recommended): Sow 8–10 weeks before the last frost. Barely cover seeds, as light aids germination. Transplant to larger containers or cell packs when the first true leaves appear. Move outdoors after the last frost.

Direct seed: Sow once the soil has warmed to at least 18°C. Plant in groups of 3–4 seeds directly into the seed bed, then thin to one plant once true leaves emerge.

Winter care: In colder climates, apply mulch after the first frost to prevent frost heaving from freeze–thaw cycles.
