I started with planting seeds in a greenhouse about 3 years ago. I thought I would have to plant them every year but guess what? They have come up every year since then and they seem to have mixed colors after the seeds fell off in the winter. In 2011 I had so many different colors of these, I was astonished. Also, they sort of overtook my flower garden and I didn't like that part. I'm sure this year will probably be the same. I will have to pull alot of them up because the seeds scatter everywhere.
I live in Zone 6 in Virginia.
