My columbines are just coming up, not even all of them!
When the kids where little, they used to call it “the alien plant” because of the shape of the flower!!!

Will you have to take the Moses in the Cradle in in the winter?Up here in the north we have to take it in or loose it to the frost ( snow).

Your Columbines are gorgeous!
Since we moved here, my columbines bloom beautifully, but the foliage gets eaten: so I have flowers on “spikes”!
Do you have any suggestion?

I don’t have problems with foliage being eaten,but I do spike my flowers since they get tall and start to hang over.Do you know what’s eating your foliage?

-- Louise Edgwood,Md.

NO idea! It is very frustrating. They get so big and beautiful and then!!!!&^*)&
They do stand nicely on their own, just wish I could keep the foliage!!
I have asked in different nursery but no help there!!!

last year was the first time I’d seen that—the leaves of the columbine consumed. My aunt had the same problem last year. We never saw what it was that was eating the plants.
Stripped bare!

Louise, your Columbines look great! I love those blue ones…my foliage is getting big, but we’re still a few weeks away from flowering…
