Lucy, where do you live. I have columbine plants that are years old and have
huge trunk root systems. They come up everywhere and just bloom beautifully.
I usually remove the top, the stems and leaves when I weed. I take the seed
pods and lay them in areas where I want them to come up.
After the stems and leaves are removed they usually come back with fresh
foliage and complement the rest of the garden by just being a delicate
foliage plant.
I have not had my blues and whites to cross, the blues and whites remain, and
the seedlings are the same.
