What’s the best way to start Columbine seeds and what time of year? How about lupine and augastache,anise hyssop?
I’m always nervous about starting perennials because I don’t know how,so then I end up letting the seed just sit in my seed collections.
I’ve found elephant garlic is great for an early pollinator attractor and very pretty. Here in the south our camellias of different varieties bloom all winter long.
Artichokes and basil are also great,along with lilac. I assume cardoon would be too so will be trying some this year just for the flowers.
I’d really like to start building a thick border of flowering herbs,annuals and perennials in my new fruit garden. (Fruit trees,berries and melons will be planted)
