As many people put new plants in their garden at this time of year, may I suggest you put in a few self-seeding plants? The magic of self-seeding plants is they come back year after year!
Here’s a few plants that I’ve had come back in new spots in my garden:
- White alyssum (not the purple kind; that doesn’t seem to re-seed)
(pictured in lower block) - Rudbeckia, commonly known as black-eyed susan (pictured in upper right block)
- Snapdragons (pictured in upper left block)
- Tomatoes (let a few rot on the ground and the seeds spill out, and you’ll get new tomato seedlings next spring)
- Echinacea
- Dill (if you’re lucky)
- Coreopsis
- Portulaca, commonly known as Rose Moss
