1 oz Seeds (Approx 500000 Seeds) of Chamaenerion angustifolium, Fireweed

• You will get 1 packet contains 1 oz Seeds (Approx 500000 Seeds) of Chamaenerion angustifolium, Fireweed.
• USDA Zones: 2-7. Bloom Time: July, August.
• Seeds germinate after 60 days of cold, moist stratification. Seeds are very small or need light to naturally break dormancy and germinate.
• Fireweed has willow-like leaves and red stems like other plants in its genus (like Northern Willow Herb), but its stunning magenta blossoms make it unique. It can be a vibrant addition to sunny, moist sites, but it spreads aggressively by rhizomes so care is needed in small landscape plantings. Well-known and widespread in Northern Minnesota and Wisconsin, it is also very common in Alaska and throughout the Northern hemisphere. It is found sporadically in Illinois and Iowa.
• Provided ample amounts of sun and decently moist soils, this member of the willow herb family can rise to surprising abundance in a very short amount of time. Its common name comes from its sudden appearance after a wildfire. A forested site completely devoid of this species can quickly become a dense stand of bright pink fireweed following a modest burn. In fact, in the right circumstances, this plant can become quite aggressive.
