Make your herbaceous border low-maintenance as well as low-cost with self-seeders. These plants freely disperse their seeds every autumn, spreading around the border without your help. Think of them as eternal annuals – you only need to buy them once and they come back every year.
Self-seeders are great for an informal planting style, because they settle into a natural order where each variety will grow in the spot it likes best. Here are a few great options:
Papaver rhoeas (common poppy)
• Aquilegia
• Angelica archangelica
• Digitalis purpurea
• Myostis sylvatica (forget-me-not)
• Verbena bonariensis
• Eryngium giganteum
• Foeniculum vulgare ‘Giant bronze’
• Lunaria Annua (honesty)• Chrysanthemum parthenium
