Yes, that was a good link, Tabsco. Thanks!! I think American Meadows nursery has Spigelia seeds--but probably are in large quantities.

All articles I have read so far on Indian Pinks say that these plants are best planted in groups. They will self-sow, or you will have to bag the seed pods to ensure you get the harvest. Easy to miss. So, those are very good tips, indeed.

I expect them to do very well in my garden since part of it is shady, and there is dappled shade everywhere in the summertime. We have a lot of tall oaks around, and the arches going into the herb garden that are covered with wiseria cast shadows at certain times of the day in the summer..
