Thompson and Morgan have been offering seed of this columbine strain the
last few years. I've resisted the temptation because the photos made the
plants look diseased rather than attractive.
Since oolumbines grow so readily from seed, this might be an economical way
to sample this strain, in which the leaves range from yellow-blotched to
all yellow.
