Thanks to all who responded to my previous thread looking for self-sowing annuals! Our back yard is going to be a butterfly magnet next summer!
What I'm looking for now are shorter plants for the orchard area, something to add to the mix of white clover and "volunteers" we had last year. Why grow grass when you can have flowers, right? The plants need to be shorter because I want to be able to see the baby dwarf fruit trees we planted. Last year, we had tall cosmos in some spots, and the trees were, well, dwarfed!
I'd like self-sowing annuals or perennials, preferably ones that I can direct sow or winter sow. They definitely have to be under 18-20 inches tall, and shorter would be better, or my DH will threaten to mow them....
I still have 'Lemon Gem' signet marigold & 'Balsam Impatiens' to offer in trade. Please check my trade list for tomatoes, birdhouse gourds, etc. Let me know what you're looking for; I might have something else to share. I wish my list were longer, but I'm new at this.
Thanks!
