Grew and flowered in 1st season! Planted in pots. Grew great!

This set of roots was small but it was the first to bloom even though it was the tiniest one I received.

When these arrived in my mailbox, they were bone dry and had sprouted one little fist of leaves that were wilted. I wasn't holding my breath, but got them soaking and in the ground, and they bounced right back. Every day I look there is noticeable new growth, and they didn't seem bothered in the least by our mid-May snowstorms or unusually cold weather. The foliage grows in significantly darker than my other columbines, but as it gets larger and older, it turns a more traditional green (I think the dark purplish leaves look good). It hasn't bloomed yet, but the way it's going, I would expect it to this year.

Received as a very little plant, looked like bean sprouts. But a little tender care, and, it bloomed just as promised!

Bought this because columbines are native to US. Cheated a lil because it's hybrid but we try. It has not flowered yet but has got some leaves. Super excited for at some point it to bloom. We have native purple and reddish and wanted something a lil more impressive we will see👀
