Sow Columbine seeds in starter trays indoor 6 - 8 weeks before last expected frost. Press the flower seed into the soil but do not cover it. Light is beneficial to germination. Or, Columbine flower seed can be directly sown into prepared seed beds with loosened, weed free soil after frost season has passed. Sow the Columbine seed in groups of 3 - 4, and space the seed groups 40cm (16 inches) apart. Thin to the strongest plant.
