Park Seed Aquilegia McKana Hybrids

Yes, Aquilegia 'McKana Hybrids' are generally avoided by deer and rabbits, making them a reliable choice for gardens where wildlife browsing is a common issue.

These columbines are ideal for shade gardens. While they can tolerate some sun in cooler climates, they perform best in partial shade where they are protected from the intense afternoon heat.

They prefer normal, loamy soil that stays consistently moist but drains well. Avoid planting them in heavy clay or areas that stay waterlogged, as this can cause root rot.

Since these reach a mature width of about 2 feet, you should space them at least 24 inches apart to ensure good air circulation and prevent overcrowding.

No extra effort is required. The long-spurred, trumpet-like shape of these flowers is naturally designed to attract hummingbirds and butterflies, so they will visit the blooms on their own.

Your bareroot plants will arrive dormant, looking like a cluster of roots with a small crown. Once planted in the ground, they will quickly wake up and begin producing their signature fern-like foliage.
