Hi Typhoo, I always cut mine back after flowering and have never had a second flowering. I cut them back to stop them from self seeding. hope that helps.
They'll be fine and will still bulk up Typhoo. I always cut aquilegia back to the ground after flowering as most of the leaves are a bit tatty by then. The new leaves will not only feed the roots for next year but will also be more pleasing to the eye.
A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.

Thanks Linda, didn't really expect that they would!! Stupid, I should have left them to self seed and bulk them up, this is their first year!!
