Default Q. Columbine done blooming, what to do?

"TOM KAN PA" wrote in message

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.
