Seeds were collected from our garden in New York state (Zone 6a).

For best results, sow seeds outside in late autumn \/ winter at let nature break its dormancy for you. Gently sprinkle seeds on soil surface, tamp lightly into soil, and keep moist until germination occurs. If growing in containers, water from the bottom to avoid splashing out the seeds.Plant Description: Red Columbine is a beautiful woodland wildflower, which is native to eastern North America. It has drooping bell-like bright red flowers that bloom early in the spring (usually April in zone 6a). It is found growing along woodland edges in shaded or partly shaded areas. I often see it thriving on boulders, which is an indicator that this plant doesn’t need rich soil at all; it will do just fine in poor shallow soils.
