    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    A lovely little cousin of the Columbine with raspberry red flowers in mid spring held above delicate foliage. Stay to under 18", so it's perfect for that choice little spot in your woodland garden. Part shade to shade in moist, rich soil– may go dormant if allowed to fully dry out in summer. Hardy to -20 °F.
