Description: Eastern Columbine Flower Seeds Aquilegia canadensis ********** This columbine is native from Nova Scotia to Florida and westward to Minnesota and Tennessee. It will generally be found in clearings, wood borders, riverbanks and thickets. The drooping, red and yellow flowers are delicate and endearing. *** ()*** MORE INFO: Sowing: Direct sow in early fall, sowing the seed just below the surface of the soil. For spring planting, mix the seed with moist sand and store it in the refrigerator for 60 days before direct sowing after the last frost. The seed can also be started indoors, planted just below the surface of a flat and kept at a temperature of 60-65 degrees F until germination; keep the soil lightly moist. Growing: Plant in fertile, moist, well-drained soil and full sun or partial shade; this flower appreciates being shielded from the midday sun. Keep the seedlings watered and control weeds. Mature plants tolerate some dryness, but should be watered in the heat of summer. Hot and humid weather may cause the plant to wilt, since this plant prefers cool weather and can survive light frosts. Flowers planted from seed will bloom in their second year of growth. After blooming, the foliage will die off. Established plants can be divided, though they will self sow readily; volunteer plants can easily be transplanted. Deadhead the wilted blossoms if new plants are not wanted. These flowers attract hummingbirds, butterflies, and bees and resists deer. Its natural growth in rocky areas makes it a good choice for rock gardens.Color: Red Plant Seeds: Outdoors After Frost or Indoors Weeks Before Last Frost Plant Height: 18-24" Plant Spacing: 12" Germination Time - 21-28 Days Cycle: Perennial Bloom Season - Spring/Summer Light Requirements: Full Sun, Partial Shade, Shade Soil & Water Preferences: Average Other: Attracts bees, birds, & butterfliesAll Of Our Vegetable Seeds Are Heirloom And Organic Unless Otherwise Stated.
