1️⃣ How to Grow McKana Giants Columbine

• Seed Selection & Timing: Use fresh seeds for best germination. Sow indoors 8–10 weeks before the last frost, or directly outdoors in early spring once the soil is workable.

• Sowing: Fill trays or pots with well-draining seed-starting mix. Sprinkle seeds on the surface; do not cover, as they need light to germinate.

• Stratification (Optional but Recommended): Cold stratify seeds for 2–4 weeks in the fridge to improve germination.

• Germination Conditions: Keep soil moist but not soggy, at a temperature of 18–21°C (65–70°F). Seeds usually germinate in 14–21 days, sometimes longer.

• Transplanting: When seedlings have 2–3 true leaves and outdoor conditions are safe, harden off for 5–7 days. Transplant to garden beds spaced 12–18 inches (30–45 cm) apart, in partial shade to full sun with well-draining soil.

2️⃣ How to Care for McKana Giants Columbine

• Watering: Keep soil evenly moist, especially during establishment, but avoid waterlogging.

• Soil & Sun: Prefers well-draining, moderately fertile soil and partial shade, though it tolerates full sun in cooler climates.

• Fertilizing: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in spring to encourage healthy growth and flowering.

• Deadheading: Remove spent flowers to prolong blooming and prevent excessive self-seeding if undesired.

• Pests & Diseases: Watch for leaf miners, aphids, and powdery mildew. Maintain good airflow and avoid overhead watering.

• Perennial Care: McKana Giants Columbine is a short-lived perennial, but often self-seeds readily to produce new plants for the next year.
