Aquilegia vulgaris | Pink Columbine | 10 Seeds
Regular price $7.79 Save Liquid error (snippets/product-template line 124): Computation results in '-Infinity'%Aquilegia vulgaris Pink is a herbaceous perennial in the Ranunculaceae family. A native from Europe. One of the most popular perennials for your garden. A small mounding plant reaching heights of 3 feet tall and 15" wide. The flowers are pink and white. Grown for cut flowers in most places, but Mom grows these in every garden to admire. They are in bloom from Spring through Summer. The birds, bees, and butterflies visit. It prefers to grow best in part shade but can handle full sun. Zones 4-10
Germination
To germinate Aquilegia vulgaris 'Pink' seeds, begin by preparing a seed starting tray or small pots filled with a well-draining seed starting mix, such as a combination of peat moss and perlite. Moisten the soil evenly, avoiding waterlogging. Since Aquilegia vulgaris 'Pink' seeds have a hard outer coat, they benefit from stratification to break dormancy. Place the seeds in a damp paper towel or a plastic bag filled with moistened vermiculite or sand, and refrigerate them for 3-4 weeks. After stratification, sow the seeds evenly over the surface of the soil and gently press them into the soil with your fingertips. Cover them lightly with a thin layer of soil or vermiculite. Place the tray or pots in a cool location with indirect sunlight, maintaining a temperature between 55-65°F (13-18°C). Keep the soil consistently moist but not saturated by misting regularly or using a gentle watering can. Germination typically occurs within 3-6 weeks. Once the seedlings emerge, provide adequate spacing if growing in trays, or transplant them into individual pots when they have developed a few sets of true leaves. Continue to care for the seedlings with proper watering, light, and nutrients as they grow into mature Aquilegia vulgaris 'Pink' plants.

Next, plant the seeds in well-draining soil or a seed-starting mix, sowing them about 1/4 inch deep. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Place the containers in a warm and partially shaded location, with temperatures around 20-25°C (68-77°F). Germination can be slow and irregular, taking anywhere from a few weeks to several months. Once the seedlings are strong enough, they can be transplanted into individual pots or directly into the garden, where the heartleaf nettle will establish itself with its distinctive heart-shaped leaves and unique cultural and ecological significance.

After scarification, soak the seeds in room temperature water for 24 hours to further soften the seed coat. Next, prepare a seed starting tray or small pots with a well-draining seed starting mix, such as a blend of peat moss and perlite. Sow the seeds on the surface of the soil and lightly press them into the mix. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged by misting regularly or using a gentle watering can. Place the tray or pots in a warm location with indirect sunlight, maintaining a temperature between 70-80°F (21-27°C). Germination typically occurs within 4-6 weeks, but it can take longer, so be patient. Once the seedlings emerge, provide them with ample light and gradually acclimate them to outdoor conditions if transplanting.

After stratification, sow the seeds in a well-draining seed starting mix at a depth of about 1/4 inch in individual containers or seed trays. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, as excessive moisture can lead to rot. Place the containers in a warm location with temperatures around 70-75°F (21-24°C) to encourage germination, which typically occurs within 3-6 months.

After stratification, prepare a seed starting tray or small pots filled with a well-draining seed starting mix, such as a combination of peat moss and perlite. Moisten the soil evenly, ensuring it's not waterlogged. Sow the Aquilegia rockii seeds evenly over the surface of the soil and lightly press them into the soil with your fingertips. Cover them lightly with a thin layer of soil or vermiculite. Place the tray or pots in a cool location with indirect sunlight, maintaining a temperature between 55-65°F (13-18°C). Keep the soil consistently moist but not saturated by misting regularly or using a gentle watering can. Germination typically occurs within 3-6 weeks. Once the seedlings emerge, provide adequate spacing if growing in trays, or transplant them into individual pots when they have developed a few sets of true leaves. Continue to care for the seedlings with proper watering, light, and nutrients as they grow into mature Aquilegia rockii plants.

Germination
To germinate Apocynum androsaemifolium seeds, start by scarifying the seeds by lightly scratching the seed coat or soaking them in hot water for 24 hours to break dormancy. Prepare a seed starting tray or small pots filled with a well-draining seed starting mix, such as a combination of peat moss and perlite. Moisten the soil evenly, ensuring it's not waterlogged. Sow the Apocynum androsaemifolium seeds evenly over the surface of the soil and cover them lightly with a thin layer of soil or vermiculite. Place the tray or pots in a warm location with indirect sunlight, maintaining a temperature between 70-75°F (21-24°C). Keep the soil consistently moist but not saturated by misting regularly or using a gentle watering can. Germination may take several weeks to occur. Once the seedlings emerge, provide adequate spacing if growing in trays, or transplant them into individual pots when they have developed a few sets of true leaves. Continue to care for them with proper watering, light, and nutrients as they grow into mature Apocynum androsaemifolium plants.
