EASTERN REDCOLUMBINE. The Columbine is an easy plant to grow becauseit adapts itself to a wide variety of conditions. Columbines do best when they are grown in moist, rich, well-drainedsoil in light shade. These one- to three-foot-highplants generally begin blooming in early to mid-spring and willoften continue through June if the flowers are removed as they fade. Columbines are one of a Hummingbird's favorite flowers, andare excellent additions to the rock garden, or as a native woodland planting.They tend to cross-pollinate, hybridize, and self-seedfreely, creating newstrains and colors. 100+ Quality heirloom seeds. Thank You!
Some American Native Wildflower seeds need to go through a cold winter to germinate. This plant is one of them. They do this so the seed won’t sprout in fall, only to have the seedling not make it through a cold winter. I have stratified these seeds to simulate a cold winter(stratification) This raises the germination rate considerably. Thanks for looking!!
