I've tried various columbines in my Austin garden and the only one I've had any success with is the native Hinkley's columbine; there's a native red columbine too but I've kiilled it enough that, at least for now, I've given up and am sticking with the yellow. The doubles are amazing, though.<BR/><BR/>— Susan from SouthSusanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12582646420350461950noreply@blogger.com
