Can columbine tolerate frost?

The columbine is exceeding frost hardy. It usually tolerates temperatures down to -20 degrees Celsius without any problems. Please note, however, that young plants are not yet able to withstand frost very well. If it's after sowing columbine seeds should freeze again, you should protect your newly planted columbines. Even if you plant or replant columbines in autumn, you should protect them from frost, as they may not yet be properly rooted.

How can I protect my columbines from frost?

Cover young or newly transplanted columbines leaves or brushwood. Potted plants should be on the balcony or the terrace in general should always be protected from the cold, as they can easily freeze through. Protect your columbines in the pot with

Fleece, jute or bubble wrap, put them in a sheltered place near a house wall and preferably on some styrofoam or a block of wood, which also protects against the cold. Older plants that have been able to gather a lot of energy over the summer do not need to be equipped with winter protection. However, you can support the plant's resilience by cutting it back after flowering, in autumn at the latest.
