Steve,
Millium effusum seeds around if you let it. If you don't want it to
do that, you just have to cut off the flowering stems when they form.
They are clump formers; take a while from seed to make a substantial
clump. Since they seed true, I always let them; easy to pull the
seedlings if not wanted and I want most of them:-)
