Growing Tips for New Zealand

Sow seeds in autumn or early spring into moist, well-drained seed-raising mix. Aquilegia benefits from a period of cold stratification — sowing in autumn and leaving pots outside over winter gives excellent results. Transplant seedlings to a partially shaded or dappled sun position with rich, moisture-retentive soil, spacing 30–40 cm apart. Deadhead after flowering to extend the season, or allow to self-seed for a naturalistic effect. Plants are long-lived and improve with age.
