But they would be good fall seeders or good for WS.

Indeed, I lerned my lesson the hard way... at least with Echinacea. I still have some plants where they shouldn't be.
And I think I have a "moss carpet" of foxglove tiny seedlings...

It is good to know that they reseed like that--I usually dig bulbs in the fall and mess up the reseeders.

I do too - I try to stay away from areas where I know digitalis or the like have reseeded, but sometimes it cannot be helped. I have tried to move some of those little seedlings, but am not always successful.

To prevent that rampant reseeding with digitalis, I deadhead most of the stem after flowering, leaving just a few of the lower pods to set seeds. When the seeds are mature, I toss a pod or two where I want them next year. They usually sprout fast, start growing, and overwinter as small seedlings. Then they bloom the next summer.

I love the flowers (digitalis) in spring and early summer. But when the real heat arrives, the plants look like crap. They fry in the heat, the spider mites love them and make them look awful. I should probably stop growing them altogether, but I so love the early flowers.
