Aquilegia flavescens, the yellow columbine, is a wildflower native to mountain meadows, open woods, and alpine slopes of the Rocky Mountains from Utah north to British Columbia and Alberta.
While the most common flower color is yellow, portions of the flowers can also be yellow-pink, raspberry pink, white, and cream.
The flowers attract butterflies and other pollinators. Moderate self-sowing at suitable locations. Easy to grow and low maintenance. Deer and rabbit resistant.
Type: Hardy perennial
Hardiness zones: 3-8
Height: 45-60cm, 18-24"
Location: Shade to part shade
Seeds per packet: 10
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.
