Columbine Yellow Spotlight Columbine		SEEDS - Botanical Interests - Blooms spring to early summer. 30'' - 36'' tall. Full sun to partial shade. This large light yellow Columbine is petite and delicate, but very showy, with long spurs and fernlike foliage. The sunny flowers look fantastic when massed together. They are fragrant, bloom for six weeks, and will re-bloom if deadheaded immediately after flowering. Plants also reseed themselves readily. This columbine thrives in any sunny spot or shade with rich, moist, well-drained soil. It is also widely adaptable and does well in rock gardens and borders. It makes a gorgeous cut flower. These flowers are built for hummingbird access! Heat tolerant. Mildew resistant. Native to the Southwestern United States and Mexico. When to plant outside: Early spring, 3 to 4 weeks before last spring frost is best, but you can also plant as late as 2 months before the first fall frost. When to plant inside: 6 weeks before the average last spring frost. Special Germination Instructions: Columbine germinates best with stratification, a process of subjecting seeds to moist/cold treatment to break the seeds' dormancy. To stratify, sow seeds into moistened soil and place the container in plastic bag in the refrigerator or freezer for about 3 weeks. Seeds can then be taken out and germinated outdoors, in a sunny window, or under grow lights. Columbine also requires light to germinate. Be sure to simply press seeds into soil surface (instead of covering with soil.) The process described above should give you the best results, but note that your Columbine seeds may germinate fine without the stratification treatment.
