Chris, I direct sowed a few saved seeds in late April, the seedlings are about 4-6" tall this week so coming along, but slowly. (We had a really cool, grey and wet Spring.) I found ONE self sown seedling, moved it, and really set it back - it's no bigger than those I sowed :) I had given a couple of WS cerinthe to my neighbor last Spring and she had an armload of self sown seedlings in Fall, none of them made it through winter. She has none this Spring but there is always the possibility she didn't recognize them and weeded them out.

Verbena bonariensis planted with orange cosmos sulphureus (tall combo) California poppies -- mine have been blooming non-stop and producing seeds on the spent blooms. Larkspur -- spring Cornflowers-- 'Red Ball' is great IMHO -- lasts May-June with deadheading, but let some go to seed nigella (I have extra seeds to share) -- get one plant to bloom and you'll never be without seeds. May bloom. interesting seed pods after. rose campion shasta daisy 'Alaska' perennial ageratum -- seeds and spreads in moist areas echinacea 'Prairie Splendor' seeds are easy to germinate and quick to bloom nepeta 'Six Hills Giant' -- big plant; divide or seed rudbeckia 'Goldsturm' -- buy one plant and it reseeds like crazy. Not my fave, but it's a filler. monarda - buy one plant and it spreads. I like 'Blue Stocking', 'Raspberry Wine' and 'Jacob Cline' bog sage - buy one plant and it spreads salvia nemorosa 'Caradonna', 'Marcus', 'Sensation Rose' -- will produce seeds like parent amsonia hubrichtii (blue star) -- great native plant for 3 seasons platycoden (balloon flower) -- don't move the seedlings after they are a few inches high. crepe myrtle 'Tuscarora' -- I find babies all the time! Blooms watermelon color. baptisia -- you may get more than you want, so be sure to control the seed pods bronze fennel -- be very careful. you can get thousands of seedlings in one year. linaria 'Canon J Went' - should be able to pull the extras. pink linum narbonense 'Heavenly Blue' (flax) -- my absolute favorite reseeding perennial. I have a link on the left side of my blog where I show photos and list flowers that I grow from seed. I don't have all of these up there yet. Also, I wrote about affordable coneflowers with bee balm (below). Cameron Here is a link that might be useful: An Affordable Flower Combination

This was the thread that helped me put a name to the style of garden that I love best. I have been working towards the cottage style for many years and never get tired of the evolution of it. Loved reading them all again today. Cheryl
