growing columbines at 8000 feet

Question

I would like to grow columbines (blue) at 8000 feet in my garden. The property is fenced (against deer/elk) and there have been other wild columbine grown here but not lately. I would like to know sunlight, soil, watering, wintering over, etc.

Answer 1

It is definitely possible to grow columbine at that elevation, and often it will do better there. Here is a link with more information on the plant: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/flowers/columbine/columbine-flower.htm
