As soon as the seed pods open, why not sow some in pots and let the rest do their own thing? That way you will at least have some seedlings that you are sure about.
Seeds sown now may flower next year but saved ones sown in spring will take 2 years to flower.

A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.
Hmmm. I have ravenous slugs. Or full slugs, depending in how you look at it.
Did you do anything special with the seeds? One of the pods was open today so I had a look - sure enough, teeny tiny black seeds fell out. I just let them go on the ground but I'll get some pots ready.

Will do that.
Note to self: label the pots!!!
It's beautiful. A lucky find and as you say, not one to be left behind once discovered.
I've grown semiaquilegias from seed in the past - it was reasonably easy.
Lost mine to the dratted slugs though

I bought my seeds - from Chilterns perhaps? It was years ago, and I'm afraid I can't remember what I did with them... sorry!
They did get to flower before the slugs chomped them to death.
