the plant was full of buds when i bought it, made flowers and now adjectives i have is dried up pods and no flowers.
I deadheaded mine final year and it did not force them to re bloom
Columbines generally have a long flowering term covering at least three months.The primary factor seems to be big temperatures bringing the season to a close. It's best to dead cranium anything as soon as possible after the flower is spent. when the flower die you should cut them off to allow other to grow, check to see if you can trim it back
Answers: Those pods, if left alone, will allow the seed within to mature and dry and drop out so that subsequent year, at this same time, you will have columbine flowers again.
There is nothing you can do beside your existing plants to make them bloom again this year.
If you "dead head" those plants immediately, they will have no seeds for blooming subsequent year.
