Reseeds and spreads even up here in New England. The honey bees love it, they were all over them. They do spread, but I love the effect in my front bed because the soil dries out so quickly and these pretties really do help.

This plant will grow just about anywhere there is a place to get a foothold. The seeds are very tiny and can be carried by the wind or hitch a ride on people and animals. It is very beautiful in mass plantings, though, and has been very effective in preventing erosion between the bricks in my walkway. However, I wouldn't suggest using it in any kind of flowerbed or hanging plant; you'll end up with it growing everywhere.

This little wild flower is an annual that rampantly reseeds in lawns in the Georgia sandhills. According to the distribution map it is found in the deep south , South Carolina to Texas. It is very dought resistant and infestations usually occur when lawns are stressed during droughts in July and August. It is pretty when blooming but here blooms open only in the morning.
