Planting depth & Watsonia indentification

Mine do reproduce from seed. I have to be careful when cutting the dead growth to not get seeds everywhere. I have never had issues with them not blooming. They don’t get a lot of sun because they are growing under a arbor of cecil brunner. You can see them in bloom in the header picture of my blog.
The white and orange flowers appear to have started from seed, as they were separate clumps from the rest

Matt,
From the pictures, these look identical to ones, which I grow as well. I have had issues with them not blooming well if they get too crowded and are not getting enough sun. This is probably why you got "new" colors.
I have never seen any seedlings from these in 20+ years so I think you could rule that out. I believe these to be W pyramidata..
The ones in the Pictures, which you call pink, I call red :) I also have some true lighter pinks. My experience is that the red is the least vigorous...
There is a Lavender Pink (almost purple) var which is perhaps a true species as well - W. borbonica.
Mine bloom in Late Spring and are summer dormant.
