Description
Everyone loves columbines, and this is the wild one gardeners 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.

Reviews
Have had them for years now
"Have then in a raised bed under an Aspen Tree. It is definitely a Full Sun location. They become the immediate focus for people coming to my house."
Started seeds inside.
"I started these inside my portable greenhouse and would place them outside on nice days (to best mimic natural conditions). Knowing that some wildflowers can be difficult to start inside I was patient (as some species did not sprout). Took about 4 wks. . . I've since started a few more and transplanting multiple plants per cell to one cell each and are doing well thus far. Will permanently transplant into garden soon."
Got them to grow
"I bought some packs of seeds last year and none of them grew. I just threw the seeds everywhere in the fall. I got some this year and made mini greenshouse with a mild carton and regular potting soil and got results. I still have a whole pack and 90% of a second pack. These really like to have shade in the afternoon."
Great!
"I started these plants for my sisters yard. The seeds sprouted quickly and the plants were very robust looking. I can't wait until next year for their first blooming."
Eastern Red Columbine Seeds
"Got the seeds and tossed out onto to a patch I cleared. Unfortunately, I did not do a good job of tilling because a lot of stuff grew. I think I have to next spring to see if anything grows."
