HOW TO GROW
Sowing: Direct sow wild columbine seeds in early fall, sowing the seeds just below the surface of the soil. For spring planting, mix the seed with moist sand and store it in the refrigerator for 60 days before direct sowing after the last frost. The Aquilegia Canadensis seeds can also be started indoors, planted just below the surface of a flat and kept at a temperature of 60-65 degrees F until germination; keep the soil lightly moist.
Growing: Plant in fertile, moist, well-drained soil and full sun or partial shade; this flower appreciates being shielded from the midday sun. Keep the seedlings watered and control weeds. Mature plants tolerate some dryness, but should be watered in the heat of summer. Hot and humid weather may cause the plant to wilt, since this plant prefers cool weather and can survive light frosts. Flowers planted from seed will bloom in their second year of growth. After blooming, the foliage will die off. Established plants can be divided, though they will self sow readily; volunteer plants can easily be transplanted. Deadhead the wilted blossoms if new plants are not wanted. These flowers attract hummingbirds, butterflies, and bees and resists deer. Its natural growth in rocky areas makes it a good choice for rock gardens.
Harvesting: Columbine makes a lovely cut flower. Choose blossoms that have just opened for the longest vase life. Keep in mind that this plant can be toxic and should not be ingested.
Seed Saving: Keep in mind that this plant will cross pollinate easily with other varieties of columbine. Watch the maturing seed pods carefully, since they will open and expose their seed when fully ripe. Shake the open pods into a container to remove the seed. Store wild columbine seeds in a cool, dry place for up to two years.

Fast service
I've ordered from you a few times and gotten my seeds very quickly and also found the germination rate to be quite high. I have my seeds in the freezer now until about January, then to the fridge for about 4 weeks, then plant in the greenhouse. Shipping charges are quite high though
Great
Speedy service!

5 stars for now. Let's see how they grow
Arrived promptly and packaged as promised. Will update mid-summer with pix as to "how they grow". I've purchased other seeds from Everwilde in the past and had excellent results.
Wild Columbine
Quick service. Order placed and mailed the next day. I look forward to beautiful blooms.
Thank you
The seeds arrived in a timely manner and were well preserved. I would order from Everwilde again if need be.
It will take some time
The seed packet arrived quickly. I can't really comment on the product since they are now sitting in my refrigerator for 60 days. Why do you ask for a review when it takes time to actually have a plant. Your customer service is prompt and I do appreciate that aspect.
Quality seeds
I buy from Everwilde because they have a good selection of quality seed; dated and well-packaged, with quick delivery. We have a 1.5 acre wildflower field, to which we continue to add additional flowers. We mow it in late October, then broadcast new seeds for winter and then spring germination. Many of these flowers have popped up throughout the field.

Packets are beautiful!
Great selection filters for native plants
I have been trying to grow native plants for the environmental benefits and to support insect and bird populations. You're website made it so easy to identify native flowers for my region. The growing tips are also much appreciated.
I love these
I purchased 3 seed packets last year and was so pleased that I ordered many more. I can't wait for the weekend to plant.
Excellent products. Fast shipping
Great looking packets!
Obviously I can't comment on the seeds yet, but the packages are beautiful as well as handy, And if they preserve the seeds much longer, as you say, so much the better.

Hummingbird Magnet
Grew these at my old house and they did wonderful and the hummingbirds flocked to them very year. They did well somewhat shaded and once they bloomed I would cut them back to let them regrow and keep them from going to seed. They will reseed freely if you don't. I am now introducing them to my new property and hope they do as well.
