How to grow Aquilegia flabellata Cameo Mix seeds

Choose Your Planting Method

• Indoors: Start 6-8 weeks before the last frost.
• Outdoors: Sow in early spring, or in fall for natural winter chilling.

Prepare Your Materials

• Seed-starting trays or pots (if indoors)
• Moist, well-draining seed-starting mix
• Humidity dome or plastic wrap

Sowing the Seeds

• Sow 1/16 inch deep and tamp gently; light benefits germination.
• For better sprouting, chill seeds first: 3-4 weeks in a damp paper towel inside a sealed bag in the refrigerator.

Provide the Right Conditions

• Light: Bright, indirect light.
• Temperature: 65-70°F (18-21°C).

Germination

• Seedlings typically emerge in 21-30 days; sprouting can be staggered, so do not discard the tray early.
• Keep the mix evenly moist throughout.

Transplanting

• Harden off and transplant after frost when seedlings have 2-3 true leaves.
• Space plants about 12 inches apart.

Care Tips

• Sun: Partial shade; tolerates full sun in cool climates.
• Water: Keep soil evenly moist but not soggy.
• Fertilizer: A light feeding with balanced fertilizer in spring is enough.
• Deadhead spent flowers to extend the display.

Bloom Time:

Late spring to early summer.
