Q. Columbine done blooming, what to do?

The Columbine is done blooming, long stems with pods on them. Are there
seeds
in these pods that can be sown elsewhere to grow? I wish to either cut
back the
plant or relocate it now. How far back can it be cut back? Can I relocate
it
now?
My experience is that if you dead head columbines after bloom so that they
don't set seed the plants survive for a number of years. Last year after
four years of dead heading I decided to let the plants set seed. Every one
of the original plants died during the winter, but I have hundreds of small
plants coming up in the area.
