This plant is so beautiful and easy to grow, you'll wonder how you ever got along without it! Biedermeier is a Nosegay Columbine, its folk name coming from the neatly rounded, symmetrical shape of the plant, which reaches just 8 to 10 inches high and wide. Adding soft pastel tones of blue, rose, pink, yellow, and cream to the late-spring shade garden (or your favorite containers!), it is hardy from one end of the country to the other, very eager to bloom, and such an attractive little shape you'll find yourself admiring it long after the flowers have passed! The blooms are the old-fashioned long- spurred type, their pastel tones contrasted with clean white centers. They face upward and have much larger blooms than wild Columbines you may have encountered; as if posing for a portrait, they cluster together at the top of the plant! This mix contains all the best soft shades, so order at least a half dozen to get a wide range of colors! Biedermeier likes partial shade and evenly moist soil. It is a fine overplanting for spring-blooming bulbs, and thrives in the high dappled shade of large shrubs and trees. Space plants about 9 inches apart. Zones 3-9.
