✂️ Care
Hardy and easy to grow plant. Regularly remove spent flowers to encourage prolonged and abundant blooming.
After flowering, cut the 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 faithfully returns each year.
