That's a cool idea Lynn! I hadn't considered Aquilegia for containers, but how lovely that would be! In the garden I often let them go to seed, being a flower hog that loves the self sown seedlings...and being somewhat lazy too, LOL. Although I have experimented with deadheading some plants to see if they would re-bloom. I didn't see more blooms, but that may be because I waited too long to remove the pods, or could be our summer heat prevented it. Certainly worth a try though, and in containers they would receive more constant moisture and regular fertilizing, which could make the difference.
