Growing & Maintenance Tips for Aquilegia canadensis 'Little Lanterns'
Grows easily in full sun to part shade. Tolerates a wide range of soils except heavy, poorly drained ones. Will grow in rocky, dry soil in shaded areas and on slopes.
Remove old flowering stems to encourage additional bloom.
Keep soils uniformly moist after bloom to prevent the foliage from dying back. If foliage deteriorates, cut plants to the ground. Fresh new foliage will emerge and look good all season.
Collect dried seed pods and sow them where you want more plants or simply let the plants self-sow.
