| Amaranthus Species Amaranthus caudatus I originally obtained these seeds from Seeds of Change and have collected my own from subsequent generations of plants in my garden. I love the unusual appearance of love-lies-bleeding and since discovering it I now include it in the back border of my main flower and herb bed every year. Amaranth self sows readily in my subtropical New Orleans garden; I wouldn't call it invasive, but I do spend a bit of time plucking amaranth sprouts from the areas of my garden I intend to use for other flowers/herbs. This plant does very well with hardly any attention from me, even in dryer-than-usual conditions, and thrives until the first frost. It easily reaches heights of 8 - 10 feet in my garden, which is significantly taller than the advertised maximum height of 4 - 5 feet. The foliage of my plants is typically ox-blood red, rather than the green depicted on the original seed packet and which I see in most photographs online. | 'Love-Lies-Bleeding' | Seeds | (PlantFiles) |
| Asclepias Species Asclepias curassavica I've found that a hard freeze will kill my milkweed even in a sheltered location, but it will sometimes self sow and collecting seeds in August or September always insures that I'll have more milkweed ready in time for next year's monarch butterflies. | 'Scarlet Milkweed, Sunset Flower Milkweed' | Seeds | (PlantFiles) |
| Nigella Species Nigella damascena I purchased the seeds I originally planted from Alchemy-Works.com and have since collected my own seeds from the plants each season. | Seeds | (PlantFiles) |

| Origanum Species Origanum vulgare subsp. hirtum Once established in my garden, this oregano began to thrive without any attention from me. I have it planted in a rock and sand mixture beside my patio, it receives harsh, direct sunlight from noon until almost sunset, and I rarely water it, yet it has more than quadrupled in size since I planted it and also blooms profusely. I love having this fresh herb handy to use in the kitchen. It is easily propagated from cuttings. | 'Greek oregano' | Cuttings |  (PlantFiles) |
