Notes:
What’s this called? seed heads are flat, tissue like & when peeled apart, the seeds are brown, flat & easily airborne. Dried heads are used in floral arrangements & are opaque, like mother-of-pearl. They’re all over my backyard where I didn’t plant them!

I grew up knowing it as the money plant-because of the seed heads. I love the little flowers too. http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/showimage/61642/

Your description of the seedheads is the giveaway. This has several common names, silver-dollar plant, moon plant. and yes, it reseeds prolifically. It is biennial. Also may have white blooms with the same seedheads and results. Just cut for dried arangements and you will deter the reseeding.

They look like some sort of phlox to me. There’s creeping phox and a shrub type – this is the latter. That’s my guess.
