Mocksville, North Carolina (Piedmont part of the state)Q.columbine plants
I have columbine plants and I have let them self seed but the past two seasons they do not lift there heads. They are not attractive the way they are and I used them frequently in cut arrangements. Why will they not lift their heads so they can show their beauty?

May 2, 2017A.Columbine are relatively short lived.
In my own garden, the self seeded plants are smaller and have less flowers.
Try some new more showing varieties for a splash in your garden.

June 20, 2017A.Your plants were likely Hybrids.
When the plants reseed, the seed often reverts back to some version of the parent plant.

August 3, 2017A.If you are lucky they sowed seed nearby and will reappear next spring. Columbine is known to be a short-lived plant, 2-3 years, so allowing it to go to seed or saving some seed yourself is a wise strategy.

6Q.Sowing Columbines (Aquilegia)
When to sow Columbine (Aquilegia)seeds that I have collected two months ago? Should they be sown now (during the summer)in order to get established before the winter comes - or should I sow them before winter time so that they experience the freezing period?

August 14, 2017A.I would so them now, broadcast and they will germinate very quickly. If they "disappear" over winter do not worry, they are very easy to grow and will come back. A further tip; once they have flowered cut the whole plant back to ground level to tidy it up. The leaves will still start to grow slowly and you will have done no damage at all.

Certified ExpertA.The area seems to have a soil infection. I usually correct this by adding wettable sulfur and dolomitic lime to the soil around the area. This can help remedy the situation, and get the soil pH back in balance.
