Description:

12-14” x 12” wide, (seed propagated).
A delightful addition to the semi-shade border, Red Hobbit is a dwarf Danish selection with eye-catching red and white flowers. Hybridized from our native Rocky Mt. Columbine, it likes compost-enriched soil with regular irrigation and protection from the afternoon sun. This stable hybrid comes true to color when reseeding in the garden, unlike many other hybrid varieties.

Zones 4-8

Special Notes:

Plant with Veronica allioni, Campanula glomerata and Sisyrinchium!

GROWING TIPS

These plants grow best in enriched soils that are well drained, avoid heavy, slow draining clay soils. Columbine likes evenly moist soil. Overhead irrigation in late afternoon and evening hours may encourage powdery mildew.
