Aquilegia Mckana Mix Seeds - Irish Plants direct
 
Aquilegia Mckana Mix (Aquilegia caerulea), commonly known as columbines, is a stunning perennial celebrated for its elegant, nodding blooms and vibrant colour combinations.
 
This mix showcases large, spurred flowers in a captivating palette of blue, yellow, pink, red, and white, often with contrasting centres that create a striking two-tone effect. These distinctive blooms add height and drama to borders, cottage gardens, and naturalised areas.
 
Growing to a height of 60-90 cm, this variety thrives in partial shade and well-drained soil but can also tolerate sunny locations in cooler climates. The delicate, fern-like foliage provides a lovely backdrop to the flowers, making this plant attractive even when not in bloom. Flowering from late spring to early summer, Aquilegia Mckana Mix is a favourite for attracting pollinators, including bees and butterflies.
 
A low-maintenance, elegant choice for gardeners seeking a touch of timeless beauty and wildlife appeal.

Sowing Instructions
 
For best results, sow seeds indoors from February to May. Lightly press seeds onto the surface of moist, well-drained compost without covering, as they require light to germinate. Place in a cool, bright location at 15-18°C. Once seedlings are established, transplant them into individual pots and grow on until ready to plant outdoors after the last frost.
 
Alternatively, sow directly outdoors from April to July in a prepared seedbed. Thin plants to 20-30 cm apart once established.
 
Aquilegia Mckana Mix brings graceful blooms and a delightful touch of colour to your garden, perfect for creating a naturalised or cottage-style display.
