Mine do reproduce from seed. I have to be careful when cutting the dead growth to not get seeds everywhere. I have never had issues with them not blooming. They don’t get a lot of sun because they are growing under a arbor of cecil brunner. You can see them in bloom in the header picture of my blog.

The white and orange flowers appear to  have started from seed, as they were separate clumps from the rest
