If you aren't selling them as the named variety, no. An increasing
proportion of those signs are bogus, but even the ones that do refer
to genuine plant breeders' rights aren't likely to be enforced for
unidentified plants at a charity sale. However, it isn't allowed
in the latter case - though whether it applies to propagation by
self-seeding is most unclear.
