I also started this plant from seed, in my greenhouse, and now have three robustly beautiful, blooming plants. I am wondering if anyone knows if I should cut the bloomstalks down or let them reseed, as I believe it behaves as a biennial, to ensure constancy in the garden? I have had some lysimachias that were sleeping dragons, ugh! Sharon/Plantations50
