Occurs naturally in partly to fully shaded woodland environments, and they thrive in sandy or limestone based soils. They prefer soil in a pH range of 6.8-7.5, and does not tolerate prolonged exposure to the sun, as it may stunt it's growth and burn it's leaves. It also does not prefer overly rich soils, as it promotes excessive growth, and may result in a weaker stem and a shorter lifespan.
Popular with pollinators, prefers shadier sites but tolerates sun.
Grows 12-36"
Blooms May-July
Aquilegia canadensis
