alyssum for sure, california poppies, shirley poppies, calendula, cosmos
(buy the dwarf varieties, like the sonata strain - the self-sowed seedlings
also grow smaller than the regular plants, like sensation mixes). For some
people nicotiana will self-sow. lavatera will often self-sow. Linaria will
self-sow in the right circumstances - and portulaca.

I would like to plant some annuals that will reseed themselves. That
sounds okay; it's how flowers reproduce naturally. BUT I live in Zone 4,
so some seeds will not survive the winter.

What about marigolds? lobelia? Will these seeds survive
temps below zero F?

I'm looking for something that will be a ground cover. There are plenty
of leggy or weedy-looking wildflowers; let's try for something full and
low.

Thank you,
