Do you mean Colombine as in Aquilegia AKA. Grannys Bonnets? If so its a case of preventing seeding, dig up the present plants and hoe off any new ones that sprout, a good layer of mulch should stop them coming back

[johcharly]

or do you mean bindweed in which dig out asw much of the roots as you can, the keep the hoe goin!

[telboy]

Yes, if it's Bindweed - worry it to death!

Might be worth trying Glyphosate on the leaves, could require a couple of doses, usually works!
