Is this plant in a lull with gardeners? I don't remember seeing anyone mention this for years. Sitting here wondering what seeds I should gather (and then not plant, according to my track record) and this plant came to mind. Who else finds peeling the "money" apart to get the seeds out very fun? This is one of those plants that really impresses kids.

My mom peeled them every year. We had big bunches of them in the house. I thought they were pretty-light silvery, paper skin and the oval shape. There were some planted at the current house when I moved in but they seem to have faded away. I'd plant them again. the lady up the street has some. Maybe she'd share some seeds.

Memories! My mom assigned the seed extraction to us kids. I think I grew them here a few years ago, expecting them to subsequently reseed. Guess not, and I forgot about them. I know they were self seeding in California.

They self-seeded like mad in Stamford CT. Shade, sun, most anyplace

I have big clumps of them all over my property and each fall I spread the money seeds around in new places. I love these plants...so easy to grow (literally all I do is collect and spread the seed). They are pretty when they flower en masse and interesting to look at all season long. As a bonus, they also remind me of my childhood where I bought things from my parents with the "money."
I have Chinese lantern. plants for the same reasons!

Every garden I remember with these plants was overrun so I stayed away.

Self seeding a lot in Maryland also. Not my favorite plant but one I tolerate because Mom had them, peeled them, used them inside as dry flowers, and NOT tolerating it, i.e. weeding it all out, would be a lot of work.
