I enjoyed watching your transplanting experiment. You learned from the experience and so did your viewers. I love that all yellow flowering " Rockets". Thanks !
Thank you for this video! I have a very large Yellow Columbine plant and I want to divide it and plant it in spot that needs a lot of color. Your directions were very clear and good. My plant grows in full sun in Southern California, but I will pot up a clump of it in good soil in a pot and let it start to grow in partial shade before planting it in my garden in full sun.
HI Thank you for this very instructive video, in my garden, here in the far southwest of England, it is in full sun, in a raised bed which is free draining, but it still flourishes. I was given a very small piece late in summer and planted it directly in the garden, it didn't grow much in the first year but did have some flowers, but this year it has developed into an enormous, vey free flowering plant about a metre tall. I am delighted with it.
Wow such a great success story! I have had great difficulties handling, transplanting Columbine. I think they were maybe too well established. If I recall the taproots were gigantic. I would have never thought to use as a potted specimen. It just worked wonders for you! I enjoy them as they are one of the premiere plants to bloom each Spring. It is quite refreshing to see after a long, cold, and snowy Winter. The online literature on the plant does not do it justice. With a little care, they can really show off a gardener's skills each and every year. As long as the plant is deadheaded after each blooming, then cut back to the ground before the first hard frost, it keeps returning. As I believe if it is untouched and left to it's natural ways, too much energy would be put into the seeds. Then depending on the seasons and their duration, there maybe little time for the plant to put energy back into it's root system. Therefore weakening it to the point of exhaustion. I have a couple of Royal Blue and White Columbine throughout my gardens and I just adore them immensely. I may try to save some seeds this year and grow them in some large pots. As I seem to have quite a collection of them that just get kicked around the shed but are too useful to get rid of. A few years back they were neglected and left to their "natural ways." It was a sight to behold really. But there will be those to remain nameless, that did not appreciate their mass appeal each Spring. One day maybe there will be a variety that will catch my eye to include in my gardenscape. As my growing season is quite short compared to most gardeners, the majority of my Columbine are quite compact. Granted I have one that is well protected and not very compact. My plan is to eventually use the White Columbine planted between my Spike Speedwell Veronica. My apologies for my mini-novella on this subject. Peaceful Gardening, Kris
@@EasyPeasyGardening I find that gardening puts my mind and body into a more peaceful mode. I did a quick scan of my plots this morning and there are a couple of very young Columbines. I will have to pot them up as I haven't the space for them at the moment.
@@krisyallowega5487 I enjoyed your "book" !. Thanks for sharing with us !. I have alot of gardening adventures. Right now, I am saving Bulbils off my grandfather's Tiger Lillies again. I looked up info on them and it was sadly lacking on video compared to my old gardening book. I have kept them through 3 moves in a huge pot. Nobody seems to realize what the bulbils are. I have a 75+ year old gardening book that gives me all the answers, happily !. My nephew wants the 2-3 year olds I keep in little pots beside the garage for such an occasion !. Blessings, CJ
@@birdsflowers2289 You have made my day! I adore Tiger Lily plants. I forget what some of the varieties are called. But I do know where you coming from. They are another one of "THOSE" plants that are uncooperative. They flourish where I don't care to have them and struggle feebly where I'd like to showcase them. The last few summers have been extremely dry, windy, and hot. Last year was the most devastating. Any flower pod scorched and blew away in the wind. No amount of watering saved them. Happily this year we received plenty of moisture so I have been enjoying some wonderful colours. The Tiger Lilies have blocked out most of the Asiatic and Oriental Lilies. Some of those bulbils are HUGE. It's funny, the Tigers are the first to appear in the Spring yet the last to bloom in late summer. Over the years I have liked growing my lilies in containers. I can put them where I want then when they have finished "showing off" I can put them aside for something else. It's some tedious work putting them to sleep for the winter. Finding a spot in the garage prior to the deep freeze. Sometimes I empty the pots in the Fall to thin them out or I will wait until Spring. It all depends how much I have on my plate with other yard duties.
@@krisyallowega5487 Good to hear from you !.. Here in Missouri, I abuse my plants and still get results. Example: My Mom wanted flowers along her driveway. She has tall sedums nearly 50 years old , in a variety of pots. We placed them on some wide beams the renovators left along the driveway. Among them, we arranged cold hardy plants such as other varieties of stone crops and annuals like petunias , lantana and portulaca. Beside her back deck, we added hybrid lillies and palace purple Coral bells, dusty miller and Purple Columbine. The deck shelters them so that I leave them in place without protection and they all make it year 'round in pots.There is a n AC water drip near so I have an easy water source. Purple Setcreasia, Easter cactus and other indoors potted plants like Angel wing Begonias and a big Snake plant join them for Summer only. All this has given me a crash course in "micro climates" ! In the sunny area by the shed , we have hemerocallus, Tigers, yellow Turk's caps in pots and Iris in the ground. Imagine our pleasure when our friend married a wonderful man who was so pleased to see the flowers. He revealed his Grandma once lived there !. Yes, her plants had been mowed off for decades since, but I was able to resurrect a lilac, Surprise Lillies, hyacinths, a peonie,, Penny royal and daffodils that had belonged to her. 🐦🌺
Hi, Just to say I have been doing some research on Aquilegia. When new, flowers won't come through, apparently they won't bloom in the first year. They will die back and the following year they will grow much bigger, also the flower heads will produce seeds. Once the flowers die, wait until they turn yellow brown, and then you can harvest your seeds. But this is information I have only found, but think that's if your plant from a seed. They need to get established. But you got a bloom. Amazing. Your plant is doing so well. Well done to you. I have just brought a pack of 250 Aquilegia Mixed seeds. Wish me luck, but I won't be able to plant them now until next year. 😊
I just bought this follow but the leaves were already yellow, ( suspecting low watering) any ideas on how to revive it? Which rich soil would you suggest?
Good to know. I started from separated roots but I have friends whose backyard is getting filled with these flowers because of the propagation from seeds.

I am sure it will turn out great
@@EasyPeasyGardening Oh Thank you. I do hope so. You have done wonderfully.
@@tinaerskine7855 thank you
Can we do cutting propagate from strem cutting?
I have not tried it. I think easiest is to separate the roots.
My leaves are all turning yellow, should I cut back all of the stems and water less
Are you sure it's getting enough water? Are you in northern hemisphere or southern?
@@EasyPeasyGardening yes I think so , I water every day because it’s super hot here in Georgia 90+ degrees.
@@liveloverisa did they bloom already in this season
I just bought this follow but the leaves were already yellow, ( suspecting low watering) any ideas on how to revive it? Which rich soil would you suggest?
Main thing is to put it in shade for a few days and water it eceryday
columbines grown from seed would not bloom in their first year. flowering starts from second year.
Good to know. I started from separated roots but I have friends whose backyard is getting filled with these flowers because of the propagation from seeds.
