The listing, Organic ✽ DWARF COLUMBINE ✽ 15 Seeds ✽ Hummingbird Plant has ended.

Be ready for the HUMMINGBIRDS! Here is a chance to grow your own columbine VERY EASY! These are seeds from my dwarf Columbine Biedermeier plants. These are a wonderful rock garden perennial or ground cover for sun or part shade. They are the first blooming plant in my spring garden to welcome the migrating hummingbirds. They are still blooming after the large-spurred and native species have finished. The flowers have beautiful medium spurs of white, pink, lavender, or purple, with white to light yellow trumpets. They are upward-facing to slightly nodding above sturdy, lacy foliage. They are larger than the minis, a compact 18" to 24", so plant them near the front of the border for close inspection. They also look amazing massed under large bushes. Columbine grows in almost any soil. They are reliable bloomers, and naturalize by self-seeding, without being "weedy", giving you years of enjoyment. Very little care is needed for these beauties, they are very hardy. I believe the "strong shall survive" in my garden. You will appreciate my motto!

This Auction: You will be receiving 15 seeds from my
garden. They will be sent First Class mail. I am happy to say that my seeds tested 99-100% germination within 2 weeks at a temp of 65°F in the spring of 2012. Excellent for beginners!

Propagation Method: From seed, sow seeds indoors 6 weeks before last spring frost. Sow 3-5 seeds per pot. NOTE* Do NOT cover these with soil, as they need sunlight or artificial light to germinate. About 10 days before the last spring frost, begin hardening the plants to the outdoors. Transplant your plants to a sunny location.
