Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Aquilegia McKana different from regular Columbine?
The McKana Giants strain produces exceptionally large, bicolored flowers with long, distinctive spurs — a showier hybrid selection compared to the smaller-flowered wild Aquilegia species.
Why did my Aquilegia McKana disappear after a couple years?
It's a short-lived perennial — but it readily self-seeds, so new plants often pop up nearby to replace the originals if you leave some spent flower heads in place.
