I've just potted up a dozen little seedlings, carefully removed from the gravel.
Gravel works a treat for propagating plants! We had a scorching hot (1") gravel drive over a horrid clay soil at out previous place, and primroses, which I always associate with semi-shade, grew and seeded into like stink. I could collect the seeds and cosset them and get hardly anything. But on the drive, run over by the cars, they flourished!
And in our new garden we have another big patch of inch gravel, and once again primroses have seeded into it in abundance from the few pots we brought with us and which stood on the gravel for a while.
Maybe I should stand a pot or two of hellebores on it. Or replace the sand in my cold frames with coarse gravel and see what seeds.
