cuphea growers?

Pontotoc, MS(Zone 7b)

Last year I planted 2 cupheas . One was the little bat face red/purple bloom and the other was a solid purple bloom. They are annuals here. This year I had little plants pop up all around the area where they were planted last year. I have not only my 2 original colors but 2 new colors - pretty raspberry ones !

Have any of you planted seed from them? IF so, how hard is it to grow them from seed? I do not have mist systems,heated green house,etc. Any info will be appreciated !!!

Sounds like it reseeds on its own very nicely so I'd just go with that if I were you vs trying to do something fancy. If you want them somewhere else in your garden besides next to the existing plants then I'd collect the seeds and scatter them where you want them to grow and they ought to be just fine.
