McKana Hybrids are vigorous but not long lasting. Leaves are 3-ternate
and grow from 1/2 to 1 1/2 inches long. They also have terminal
flowers and spurs to 4 inches long. Columbine is a clumping perennial
found in meadows, woodlands and mountainous regions of the Northern
Hemisphere. Leaves are finely divided, ternate, bluish-green, divided
into leaflets 1 to 1 1/2 inches long. This is a graceful upright
perennial. Grows well in fertile, well-drained soil with partial shade
to full sun. For alpine species a gritty, sharply-drained, humus-rich
soil is required. Excellent in a light woodland setting or herbaceous
border.  source
