| I love plants that self-sow, but I'm wondering how aggressive this one is. (I spend a lot of time pulling up impatiens balfouri, which I love but which produces millions of offspring each year.) Any advice?
Thanks,
Marcia |

| I'm not sure pansies are so much invasive...if you tear them off before they make seeds you should see the end... |

| They're certainly invasive here in zone 3, so if the conditions in your zone 9 area are to their liking, then I can't imagine they wouldn't be even more so. Here, they seed so thickly that other plant seedlings are choked out. This year, I vow (once again) to attempt to eradicate them from the yard... if only it was possible to have only a few of them! |

| Not for me-- I'm just a few minutes away from you in Albany. They will self seed, but nothing crazy. Amanda 'romando' |
