I planted Cleome seed 20 years ago, once. They have been around ever since.
Other heavy self seeders are Malva, Agastash (Hyssop), Blue Eyed grass and Butterfly weed (Asclipias tuberosa).
The B'Fly weed have impressive tap roots. I tried to dig one up that went down a foot +. It wouldn't come up so it graces the Broccoli patch.
My problem is I let them go to seed. Some make great pics, others (Agastach) provide winter bird food.
They all help attract insects that I like to photo. Not all are good. I shot this Harlequin Stink bug on the Cleome, today. It's larva chew leaves.
