By "Black Eyed Susan vine", I'm guessing you mean the annual Thunbergia alata. If the pods are fully developed (and not immature), you can leave them to dry out and plant next spring (or indoors a few weeks before the last frost). Once dry, they'll keep better under refrigeration. Lobelia can self-seed and you may well get plantlets next spring by sprinkling seed on the ground now. However, I think it's too late in the year to expect cuttings placed in the ground to take root and overwinter.

Hi Jan, I used to always plant my Cosmos from seeds sown in spring, but not anymore!... One year I didn't get around to it early enough and forgot about them, but what a surprise when I finally found them growing in the garden! They had self sown from seeds dropped in fall and I've never had to worry about them again. I have beautiful Rose, Pink, Magenta, and an occasional white (4-5' tall) Cosmos self sow and bloom like crazy every year. If you have plenty seeds, you could try direct sowing some as well and hopefully they will show up on their own in spring when it warms up again. :) *Bee*

I'm bumping this up in hopes "muffienh" or anyone else can tell me if Agastache Purple Pygmy germinated, really bloomed first year as advertised. If all of these were successful, were hummers attracted to it enough to nectar? Also, did "ellen_s" or anyone have success with Asclepias curassavica and was it winter sown, germinated indoors under lights or direct seeded in ground late fall/early winter even though it doesn't need cold stratification? I ordered 25 Asclepias curassavica seeds and was thinking of direct seeding some in front/behind spring blooming bulbs at same time I put those in the ground. I'll put rest of seeds in containers to get into enough sunlight. I put zinnias around bulb territory this past spring but took 2 months to get them large enough to bloom since rabbits kept eating them back. Hoping they'll leave milkweed alone. I'm really most interested in anyone's experience with the Agastache Purple Pygmy, though. Can't afford to buy them as plants so seeds were my next best option if I don't mess up germinating them...LOL. Hoping they germinate well, bloom first year and attract/feed Hummers. If anyone sees this post, thanks in advance for any advice or experience you can offer.
