I thought the little nursery that I bought the columbine at was selling the columbine. They weren't! It just reseeded into almost every pot! So, you picked what you wanted, and got the columbine as a bonus! I wanted the columbine, so I had to sort through the odds and ends until I found something that I could enjoy without having to try and get the columbine out. I figured a ground cover was the way to go, and I'm excited that I got 3 for 1 on the deal!
