organic alpine columbine

$ 4,75

Aquilegia alpina, Ranunculaceae

Alpine columbine is this adorable representative of the Aquilegia genus, a rarer and more elegant species than the common columbine, but just as easy to grow. This quiet beauty works its magic on the partially shaded side of our house, where we intervene little or not at all... It stands out for its deep violet-blue blooms (in June at Kamouraska). Hardy in zone 3. Height: 40-50 cm.

60-70 seeds

Press the seeds onto the surface of the potting soil (they need light to germinate) and keep well moistened. Then cold-stratify (-4°C to +4°C) for 4 to 6 weeks, then remove and store at around 20°C until germination, which will take around 2 weeks. Aim for 30 cm spacing in the garden.

You can also sow directly outdoors in autumn, for germination after the snow melts.
