Aquilegia benefits from cold stratification — sowing in autumn and leaving pots outside over winter gives excellent germination 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. Note: double forms may not come fully true from seed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat's in the Packet\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach packet contains \u003cstrong\u003e10 seeds\u003c\/strong\u003e of Aquilegia vulgaris 'Lime Sorbet'.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chbotanics Seeds","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45028586618949,"sku":null,"price":4.5,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0734\/2974\/5733\/files\/aquilegialimesorbet.jpg?v=1779083709","url":"https:\/\/chbotanics.co.nz\/products\/lime-sorbet-columbine-seeds-aquilegia-vulgaris","provider":"Chbotanics Seeds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
