When to plant eastern red columbine

Eastern red columbine is a spring-blooming native perennial (NC State: flowers March to May). Set out plants or divisions in spring or fall; it self-seeds freely once established, and new seedlings bloom their second year.

Eastern Red Columbine is timed by season rather than your frost dates, so the planting calendar does not generate ZIP-specific dates for it. Check the cited sources below to fine-tune for your area.
