Hi Songbird,

Oh they are perennial. But they will only come back for
about four years.

I do collect the seeds and try to reseed the dead spots,
but they only sprout and die. The seeds will grow everywhere
else. Makes me think that all the nutrients where
sucked out and the sprouts are starving to death.
