Last year I purchased a McKana Giant Columbine, it was a sad little 4" pot. All it did last year was grow, didn't bloom. This year it bloomed but looks nothing like the picture! I am disappointed because I have never seen the giant columbines, but at the same time I really like this little white flower!
Could anyone tell me what type this actually is? I am going to buy a couple more of the sad little 4" columbines this week and it will be interesting to see if they will be the same flower that I ended up with or what is pictured.
Also, do columbines usually not bloom in their first year?
Thanks!
