Default Aquilegia dividing?

I have three really lovely variegated foliage aquilegias (vervaensis
group), they have pale blue flowers which are pretty but it is the
foliage that always looks so fresh and very pretty all year, that I want
to keep.
I grew them from seed but I know they don't come true as I've never got
a variegated plant from the seeds I've saved over the past few years.



Aquilegia 'Woodside Blue' has variegated foliage (yellow splashes), and
blue flowers - and I've found it easy from seed.

I got quite a number of different forms of variegation from almost all
yellow to almost all green, but you can pick the ones you like best and
people always seem to be happy to take the ones you don't want ;-)

(mine are a bit greener than this, but it is earlier in the year - they are
budding but not flowering yet.)

Might be worth having a Google for this variety and see if it is similar to
yours before you risk splitting the established plants. If it is, I think I
got my seed from Chiltern, but from link above, Mr Fothergills also have
it.
