Columbine plants produce quantities of individual flowers that easily cross-pollinate with other columbines in a surrounding area. When the seedlings mature, their flowers may exhibit characteristics of neighboring columbines. If columbines produce excessive amounts of seed, the life of the plant is usually shortened. Often, a new seedling will grow close to a plant that has died and is mistaken for the original plant. For more information, please see the PlantTalk script "Columbine."
