Winky Blue and White Columbine Care

Plant the Winky Blue and White Columbine in full to partial sun. Increased light in the spring will support rapid growth and blooms, but this beauty will appreciate shade later in the growing season. Columbine needs water when the top couple inches of soil dry out. Plant in moist but well-drained soil. Apply a balanced fertilizer monthly starting in the spring. 

Deadhead the plant to keep it looking neat and prevent self-seeding. Prune the growth back to the basal leaves in the autumn.
