Arnhild,
They can seed around to excess if they are happy. Mine do it in the
cracks of the flagstone paving adjacent to the bed they grow
in....but never the bed. Now, your comment about all the rain you
get makes me think that they need quite moist conditions to germinate
the seed...wonder if this is so.
