Most Columbine seed need a cold period to germinate well, so sowing now would
work out good. If some of the seeds germinate now in your climate they
should live over the winter without a problem-the small plants can take a lot
of cold.
Most Columbine do best in more sun than shade-with most liking about half of
each in moisture retentive soils that are well draining. The seeds will
germinate better if exposed to light so do not work the seeds into the soil.
