Managing Reseeders
 
Many flowering plants drop seeds which readily take root. If you like borders thick with flowers, these plants can create the look you want affordably, and with plants to spare!

When using reseeders, you will probably have to do some thinning. When too many plants are left to grow in a small area, they will compete with each other and make a poor showing. Thin when the seedlings are small so that you won't disturb the roots of surrounding plants, and save some of these thinnings to share with friends and neighbors.

The mulch around your plants will not only inhibit the weeds, but also your seedlings. Pull back the mulch in areas where you want the seedlings to take hold.

Some of my favorite reseeding annuals are cosmos, spider flowers, melampodium, impatiens, petunia and tithonia. Reseeding perennials include blue flox, purple coneflower, shasta daisy, columbine, four-o'clocks and brown-eyed Susan.
