Well I mentioned once that I had gotten this from a package of mixed seeds (I still can't think of where else I could have gotten them). Anyway, Ron said that this type of mg wouldn't have come from a mixed seed packet because it rarely if at all puts off seeds. And I have to agree on that. I've only seen one seed pod on it anywhere and this is the second year with it. It lives under my porch during the winter and crawls out in the spring and takes over during the summer then retreats to its winter home when it gets cold. I fight it tooth and nail just to keep it from taking over the wheel chair ramp and the rest of the porch. It creeps out into the lawn, up through the cracks in the porch and walkway and all over the rest of the flowers. I think I just need to be a lot more aggressive with it next year.
