Aquilegia formosa Red Columbine

Description
Taprooted perennial with characteristic reddish-orange flowers with spurred petals that attract bumblebees and hummingbirds. This plant is best in medium moisture in partial shade, but in deeper soils can be planted with more sunlight. Delicate and beautiful foliage for woodland gardens and open forest restoration projects. This species should not be planted close to horticultural columbines (pink, white, purple, etc.) because they readily hybridize.

Growing From Seed

Growing your own native plants from seed is the most economical way to add natives to your project or home garden. The seeds of native plants have built-in dormancy mechanisms that protect them from germinating before killing frosts or periods of drought.

In cultivation, the successful gardener must become familiar with these conditions to unlock the dormancy mechanism and stimulate germination. We are developing thorough seed germination categories in the Seed Details section above to help you successfully grow the native seed we sell.
