Canadian сolumbine "Little Lanterns"
Honeysuckle columbine "Little Lanterns" - Aquilegia canadensis.
You have never seen such an amazing aquilegia: its large flowers with spurs on numerous thin branches, deep red, really resemble lanterns, and golden stamens will illuminate any shady corner of the garden with their radiance.
"Little Lanterns" has a compact bush shape and is great for planting in mixed beds or in groups. It is used in a mixborder, in flower beds, when planting near conifers and reservoirs.
Dwarf and compact perennial for rock garden or pot culture.
Family: Ranunculaceae.
Origin: Eastern North America.
Flowering is earlier than in most watersheds.
Natural flowering period: May - June.
Flowering plant height 25 cm, flower diameter 5 cm.
Foliage: conspicuous dark green, deeply lobed, almost waxy.
Distance between plants: 25 cm.
Winter hardiness zones: Z3 - Z8.
1,0 g = 1350 seeds.
Sowing: before winter in the ground or March - April for seedlings in a greenhouse. Seeds require preliminary stratification: sow the seeds, cover with glass and place in the refrigerator (temperature + 5 + 7 ° C). Crops are kept under such conditions for a month, then transferred to room conditions. At a temperature of + 16 + 18 ° C, shoots appear on the 10-14th day.
In the phase of 1-2 true leaves, the seedlings swoop down on seedling beds. In the phase of 5-6 true leaves, the plants are planted in a permanent place at a distance of 25-30 cm.
Blooms in the second year.
Care: prefers slightly damp, semi-shady places with light, humus-fertilized soil. Without reducing the decorative effect, the aquilegia bush grows in one place for 3-5 years. Loosening, weeding and moderate watering are necessary. After flowering, the stems are cut at the height of the basal leaves.
Pairs well with bluebells, ferns, irises and ornamental grasses.
