Self-seeding plants that do well in Texas?
I need a nice list of self-seeding flowering plants, or spreading plants (is that the same thing?) for my garden.
I’ve seen a garden online and it’s beautiful and natural looking, like it’s been there forever. I want to try to accomplish this and keep it for my father as a gift, as he loves gardening, but does not have a green thumb (His problem is that he’s too busy, I think).
Any good suggestions for Zone 9 hardy plants?
Thanks!!!
Basil and sage are good. Mints spread like wildfire and it’s best to give them some confinement. Marigolds will self-seed here if you make a little effort to help them. Calendulas (pot marigolds) Bee balm or pinapple sage. Salvias (which are also a sage but sold as flowers) Irises. Honeysuckle. Since you’re in Texas you might even want to use some cactuses that flower. I’ve got a spineless prickley pear that flowers beautifully most years.

Gardening With Heirloom Seeds $15.75 Heirloom seeds are more than the promise of next summer’s crookneck squash or jewel-colored zinnias. They’re living antiques handed down from one generation to the next, a rich inheritance of flavor and beauty from long ago and, often, far away. They are sometimes better adapted to pests and harsh conditions than many modern varieties and often simply smell or taste better. Gardening with Heirloom Seeds serves as a resource for gardeners, cooks, and plant lovers of all levels of expertise who want to know more about finding, sharing, and propagating the seeds of heirloom flowers, fruits, and vegetables. In these beautifully illustrated pages, Lynn Coulter describes fifty old-fashioned species that have their roots in the past, from the Frenchman’s Darling, a flowering herb whose seeds were pocketed by Napoleon Bonaparte when he invaded Egypt in 1798, to Snow White beets, an old Dutch favorite that will not stain the cook’s fingers red. Most of the plants included here will grow all across the United States; a few are best suited for warmer climates. The text is sprinkled with practical advice from heirloom gardeners and lists sources for finding the seeds of many old varieties. Because it also provides room for notes, Gardening with Heirloom Seeds can be used year after year and can become an heirloom in its own right–a personal journal to pass along to the next generation of gardeners. |
