I'd love some, and some advice about conditions. What is galling is that when we lived in the Peak District, they grew in the garden, and crept up the alleys, and grew in the gaps between the cobbles, and the bits where the walls met the pavements, and half the time we were pulling them out like weeds. And now I live in Lincolnshire, and have planted them properly in a flower bed, they can hardly be bothered. So I wonder what is the difference? And they certainly aren't seeding about....
Well hopefully the new beds will prove a better home than the old ones. I love cottage garden perennials and thought that national collection on the telly a couple of weeks back was gorgeous. And fascinating how they cross fertilise and you get all the new types. Maybe I need to mulch a bit more - was damper in the Peaks. Very free draining here.
These are new seedlings from Touchwood aquilegias. the Photos are theres and not mine. I hope they will flower for the first time next year,at which point I will pick out the best for seed. Star Gaze Lily, i can send you aquilegia seeds from my current plants such as lilac pom pom,raspberry pom pom, black barlow, raspberry ripple etc.
Mine are happy in free draining, the best ones are doing well in some light shade. I think they do not like too much heat.
That may be it come to think of it. They are quite exposed where I've put them - they haven't died, but they just don't look anything. I think I know exactly where to move them to in that case. We were shadier in the Peaks. There's going to be a big re-organisation of stuff here for next summer!!

Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Fidget would it be to cheeky to say yes please to some seeds.
