Minnesota Native Plants - Canada Columbine (Aquilegia Canadensis)

Minnesota Native Plants - Canada Columbine (Aquilegia Canadensis). Our first video regarding Minnesota Native Plants.
The Canada Columbine, or Wild Columbine is a perfect plant for many areas (forest, prairie, etc.). Watch the video to learn more about this beautiful native!
While I talk about this plant being a native to Minnesota, it may be perfect for any garden around the entire Upper Midwest and lower Canada.

A gorgeous native plant that is one of the first spring bloomers in Minnesota. This is a great plant to add to your native planting or butterfly garden.

I actually dont think I've seen these here in Minnesota! Now I'm on the lookout! Great idea on a new series! Thank you Rich & Holly!!

[@TheOldSwedesFarm]

You'll see it on the edges of woods and prairies. If you've got an area for native plantings, this is a great addition. Beautiful for several weeks in May/June. I'll try to save a bunch of seeds and share some with you! Cheers Sarah!

Love the new playlist! Hardly any homestead channels talk about native plants, that I’ve noticed, anyway.

[@TheOldSwedesFarm]

I think we all need to have a native planting on our homestead. This is a great plant to have as part of a Minnesota (or Upper Midwest) garden. You'll get butterflies and hummingbirds. Watch for more native plant videos through the summer. Cheers!

Good morning Rich. Very nice native Minnesota plant! Colour is beautiful!

[@TheOldSwedesFarm]

It's a gorgeous plant. I bet you have a native Columbine too. Really nice in the spring garden. Cheers Garry!

[@MtnGrandma]

What a beautiful plant! Love the playlist idea! 😊👍❤️

[@TheOldSwedesFarm]

We've got so many beautiful native plants that I just want to share them. I'm hoping more in the Upper Midwest will grow natives and benefit the butterflies (and they just look good!). Cheers Tammy!

Watching why I clean my sons room 💙 love the native plants always

[@TheOldSwedesFarm]

If I remember cleaning my Son's room, I hope you watched three or four of our videos!! Cheers!

[@lil-mumma-adventures]

@@TheOldSwedesFarm such a big job

[@mncustom-made-barblafond6825]

We have a lot of columbine here in north central Minnesota. Beautiful native plant to have in gardens.

[@TheOldSwedesFarm]

They really are. We're trying to add pockets of native plantings around our property. So gorgeous! Thanks for stopping by to watch and comment! Cheers!

Hello from Texas. Nice to meet you. Beautiful plant. Have a blessed weekend.

[@TheOldSwedesFarm]

Thanks Gail! I hope you've got a nice native garden and you can pass on your Monarch butterflies to us! Thanks for stopping by! Cheers

Also.... Native North American tribes used various parts of columbine in herbal remedies for ailments such as headache, sore throat, fever, rash caused by poison ivy, stomatitis, kidney and urinary problems, and heart problems. Native American men also rubbed crushed seeds on their hands as a love charm. ❤

[@TheOldSwedesFarm]

Thanks for sharing this. I knew none of this. Great to know. Cheers!

[@TheCowEmporium]

That’s pretty!

[@TheOldSwedesFarm]

I bet there is a variety that is native to your area. This would fit in perfectly on your prairie. Some great spring color! Cheers Annette!

[@northerngirlhobbies]

It’s a fave and there are many colours. Here’s a challenge for you Rich, try growing it from seed, super tiny seeds. Fun idea for a series.

[@TheOldSwedesFarm]

That's how I got these two. Grew them from seed last year. I'm going to collect seeds and plant more this year and next. I used to have a native garden that was 20 feet x 200 feet. It was beautiful and changed every year. I'm looking to add native plantings around our property over time. There will be lots of videos. I bet this plant looks great up by you. Cheers Jen!!

[@northerngirlhobbies]

@@TheOldSwedesFarm excellent and yes, absolutely beautiful!

[@TheMorganHomestead]

Cool! I need to get some of that! Thanks!

[@TheOldSwedesFarm]

As the plants mature, I'll be collecting seeds. I'll try to get some to you. They just need to be frozen over winter so they will sprout. Most of the native plants want to be frozen to sprout. We'll talk over the winter!

[@TheMorganHomestead]

That would be awesome! Thank you! Beautiful plant!

[@YogiHollowFarm]

Very pretty!

[@TheOldSwedesFarm]

It really is a beautiful plant. I'm sure it's native to your area too. Cheers Lisa!

[@iexpectmiracles]

We grew up calling them honeysuckle plants. We used to pick the flowers and chew off the 4 little bulbs in the ends and they are sweet. Not sure if it is poisonous or not if you eat a lot of them so do it at your own risk!!!!!

[@TheOldSwedesFarm]

Wow! Never heard that. Is there a Honeysuckle plant that looks similar?! I don't want people popping this bloom in their mouth, if it's not good for them?! I'm not putting anything in my mouth!! Cheers!
