Do Columbine bloom repeatedly, or only once?

Columbine (Aquilegia canadensis, or A. vulgaris) is a perennial; however it only blossoms once per season. Each plant will give off about a half dozen blooms usually three or four at a time and they last for about a week. Be very careful of the dried capsule of seeds and keep them away from children and pets, they are poisionous (the seeds, that is).

Do Columbine bloom repeatedly, or only once?
Mine are just now starting to bloom. They don't re-bloom in a growing season. If you don't cut the seeds from the blooms, they will plant themselves and will grow into more columbines. The green leaves throughout the rest of the season are still very lovely.
Reply:Once, but in the dead flower there are seeds that you can dry and re-use
Reply:Mine bloom once in mid-spring
