Columbine seem to
me to be very easy
plants to grow. I
don't do anything
to them (no
fertilizer, no
extra care or
water- just
whatever the
weather provides)
They reseed very
easily. They come
in a good variety
of colors. I'm not
sure if they are
deer resistant but
the deer haven't
bothered mine yet.
Deer will graze in
the same garden
and eat my roses
or tulips but I
haven't noticed
them going after
these. I can't
give any tips on
planting these
from plants since
mine where in the
yard when we moved
in but I can tell
you that I have
often spread their
seeds and
increased my
columbine plants
many times over.
I've seen them
in blue, red,
white, pink and
shades of these
colors.
The downside is
that they could be
considered
invasive if you
spread too many
seeds. They
multiply very
easily.

I like to
provide a photo of
the plants without
the flowers as
often as I can.
Here's what one of
the plants looks
like in my yard.
I do have wood
chips around these
but I do that more
for aesthetics
than for the
plant. This
photo was taken in
late April.
