Yep, Gerry, both the pink and white forms seed around - they like the
gravel parking area - not as much as 'Mrs. Moon', but enough so I
have babies to move around if I want to.
I firmly believe that all you have to do to get seedlings of plants
is plant then next to a gravel drive or path. They will seed into it
and totally ignore the lovely bed you planted them in.
