beginner - are hardy geraniums aggressive spreaders?

I have a Johnson's Blue that has clumped up really nicely for me and has stayed where I put it. I bought a dying white (with a bit of pink at the center) last fall and it is coming along nicely and staying put (but it is probably still recovering). Then someone gave me a smaller geranium with pinkish-fuschia flowers. After I had it in for a while I noticed there were 2 forms (the leaves differ in size and how deeply serrated they are). Since I put those plants in (this is their 2nd summer here), I've been noticing little seedlings all over, obviously from seed. I find one of the plants is spreading surprisingly fast as well. They are planted in morning sun, in very dry beds (I don't water much), great soil. What can I expect from these plants?

I rarely have trouble with aggressive plants going crazy because it's SO dry here and I'm very exposed in winter and only mulch a bit.

I don't like the pink ones enough to have them take over my universe!

Thanks for any assistance.
