If it's real dry late in the summer many of the columbine will go dormant and
take a rest, then sometimes in the fall when the weather cools down sometimes
they will produce a set of leaves or two.
If your ground did not get extremely hot and dry they should be all right,
though they will not be as big next year as they could have been.
If they were planted in a sunny area that was very dry and hot -- then they
might be "gone."
You can always go and have a look see to find out if they are alive.
If you can remember were the plants were just look to see if you spot and of
the crowns at the soil surface or just covered, live crowns will be firm.
I have killed columbines a number of different ways but the most common way
is overcrowding and to much shade and water.
