✂️ Care
Hardy and easy-to-grow plant. Remove spent flowers regularly to encourage prolonged and abundant blooming.
After flowering, cut stems back to about 15 cm from the ground to promote vigorous regrowth the following year.
Enrich the soil with compost in spring. Water regularly during dry periods. Once established, this columbine requires little care and returns faithfully every year.
