Columbine EASTERN RED
Perennial Part-Shade Attracts Pollinators Non-GMO 500 Seeds
Pure Seed – Non-GMO,
Fresh, No Filler
If
you want your garden to be more pollinator-friendly this is the perfect choice.
Eastern Red Columbine is a native plant and an absolute magnet for hummingbirds
and butterflies! And while they're there, they're likely to visit your other
flowers, too. There's a lot of things you can do with Eastern Red Columbine,
tuck it in a border, naturalize it in a woodland garden, spread it as a ground
cover…. It grows well in sun AND shade! The intricate blooms are long-lasting
and make good cut flowers. To top it all off, deer rarely show any interest in
native columbine.
Everyone
loves columbines, and this is the wild one gardener’s love most. Also known as
American Columbine, this beauty is native from Canada to Florida all the way
west to Texas and the Dakotas.
The
flowers are showy, nodding bells of a bright strawberry red with lots of yellow
stamens. The foliage is fernlike, like all columbines, and this plant forms
neat, short (1 to 2 ft.) clumps that are both tough and durable yet extremely
delicate in appearance. The flowers bloom in "late spring," and
always attract hummingbirds.
While
considered a woodland wildflower, wild columbine often occurs in the wild on
open rocky slopes in full baking sun.

HOW TO PLANT COLUMBINE
FROM SEED
WHEN TO PLANT COLUMBINE SEEDS
- Plant in the Spring after the threat of frost has
passed.
WHERE TO PLANT COLUMBINE SEEDS
- Columbines are a highly adaptable flower.
- They do well in many climates and sun conditions, but
they will bloom best in full sun to light shade.
- Plus, columbines are deer resistant, and birds and
butterflies love the nectar found in tip of the petal’s thin spur!
HOW TO PLANT COLUMBINE SEEDS
- For best results, put columbine seeds in the
refrigerator for 24 hours prior to planting. Another, slightly more intensive
way to stratify (a process of breaking seeds’ dormancy by subjecting them
to moist/cold treatments) your seeds is to first, sow them into a
container filled with moist soil. Next, place the container in a plastic
bag and refrigerate or freeze it for 3 weeks. Finally, remove the seeds,
and place them outdoors in a sunny location or under grow lights and allow
them to germinate (21 to 28 days).
- If sowing outdoors: In the early spring (3 to 4 weeks
before the last frost), sow your columbine seeds on top of lightly raked
soil. They do not need to be covered. Your columbine seeds will germinate
in around 21 days.
- If starting indoors, plant columbine seeds 6 weeks
before the average last spring frost.
- Columbines
are perennials that are hardy to zones 3 to 8 or 9, depending on variety.
HOW TO CARE FOR COLUMBINE
- When flowers begin to fade, dead head to allow for
fresh blooms. When the season is over, cut down to the ground.
