Native Eastern Wild columbine, Aquilegia
Canadensis
Eastern Wild columbine is native to the Mid-Atlantic
region. A beautiful and useful plant indeed! This is the true
native, not the cultivar, grown from sustainably collected seed.
The plant will come to you in a 3.5 inch pot. Soak thoroughly
before planting. Water regularly until established.
Description: This columbine boasts red
tubular flowers with a yellow center hanging from its stalk. A very
dainty plant, they seem to jiggle in the breeze. The delicate
foliage is attractive as well.
Culture: They grow in average soil with
average moisture in sun to partial shade. Bloom time is late spring
to early summer and they are hardy to zone 3.
Companion plants: Canada Anemone, Bluebells,
Foamflower
Wildlife benefit: This is a natural source of
nectar for the Ruby-throated hummingbird, in fact it is the first
plant they look for on their northern migration each spring. Its
rich nectar will also attract butterflies as well.
Eco-friendly grower
All of my plants are grown using earth
friendly techniques, from seed collection to watering with
rainwater. Pots are 100% recylced, some are re-used containers,
others are made from recycled plastics. Plants are fed with
PLANT-TONE by Espoma, an organic fertilizer and/or worm castings. I
grow plants that can replace those lost to development in order to
help sustain wildlife that depend on them. You can be assured that
you are not getting plants from the wild, which is unethical and
further contributes to habitat loss.

Native plant range and our shipping
Most of our plants are also found native to the Midwest,
however that is generally the extent of their range. In an effort
to keep our native plants native to their natural range
, we do not ship west of the Great Plain States. This
includes Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, Idaho,
Utah, Nevada, California, Oregon, Washington, Alaska, Hawaii. If
you live in these states, please do not order.
Raven's note:
I
offer only healthy, robust, plants that I have taken great
care in growing. I also take great care in packing them.
If
for some reason
they arrive in poor condition, I may refund or exchange at
my discretion. You must notify me within 2 days of receiving them
as I cannot be responsible for them once their care is out of my
control. Sometimes despite all efforts, a plant gets dehydrated
during transit. Just set the plant in its pot in a tray of water
for a couple of hours and this should bring it around. Please note
that I may need to trim plants back to fit them in their boxes.
This will not hurt them; it actually encourages further
growth.
Feedback PolicyWe all like to have positive
feedback and I am delighted to leave you just that. However I like
to be thorough and be sure all is well with your order before doing
so. If you are happy with your plants, please reflect this in the
feedback. Once I know you are satisfied, I will leave the same for
you. If there is any problem, please contact me first before
leaving a bad feedback so we can work out a solution.
