CANADIAN COLUMBINE, EASTERN RED COLUMBINE
- Unit price
- / per
Found growing wild in much of North America, the Eastern Red Columbine is an extremely attractive columbine, with not-often seen bold-red color in a columbine! Flowers bloom in spring, providing nectar for hummingbirds, butterflies and bees. These plants are extremely tolerant of dry and sandy locations, and thrive in full sun or shade. They grow wild in our southern area of Canada (Ontario) in an old gravel quarry! Plants will self-seed and naturalize if allowed, but do not become invasive.
Height: 18-24", 45-60cm
Type: Hardy perennial
Hardiness zones: 3-8
Location: Sun to part shade
Seeds per pack: 20
Sow just under the surface of the soil and water in. Temperature 20-22 C (68-72 F) for 4 weeks. They may be growing at this point. If they have not germinated after 4 weeks then a cooling period is required. Cover them with plastic and place in a fridge for 4 weeks. Be sure they stay moist. After the stratification period they are then brought back to room temperature for them to germinate. Germination can be 30-60 days after the warming period, though some can take longer.
Ornamental use only. These seeds and plants are poisonous.
