"Yellow does well in our up to 90 degree days, blue and white not so much."
"Reliable perennial for high altitude and short growing season with long, frigid winters"
"Yes, the plants came in good condition and have grown very well. The disappointment comes with the colors. The two that should have been red hobbit bloomed as blue. The yellow is fantastic. one more to bloom and I'll find out what color it is. Yellow with the blues on either side of it just isn't great visually. I DO appreciate the quality of the plants."
"We bought several of the pre-planned gardens last year for an empty flower bed in the shady yard of our house in Colorado. They looked good even toward the end of last summer but this summer they are spectacular. None of them have died. We did use Yum-Yum Mix. I'm buying 3 more."
"I grow these columbines in 5-gallon pots on my patio, 1 plant to a pot, at 7000-ft. I find these columbines survive our winters quite well. Takes about 3 years to fill the pot. I do use Yum-Yum mix at planting, also when I put them to bed in the fall, and in the spring when they wake up."
"I garden in pots. I find these columbines are extremely hardy and, at 7000-ft, survive our winters quite well."
"only one failure in the bunch. We love the finished product."
"The selections were perfect."
