Plant Notes:Columbo is a perennial herb that lives only to produce a basal rosette for years until it has stored enough energy to flower. Once it flowers and sets seed, the plant dies-- a condition termed "monocarpic". At one time, Columbo was on the state tracking list but due to additional populations being discovered it has since been delisted.--B. Keener
