Self-seeding plants are ideal for gardeners looking to incorporate wildflower garden ideas in their yard. Self-seeders can be annuals or perennials and are defined as plants that readily reseed themselves almost anywhere and everywhere. These plants help to create a natural, wild look, and what could be better than an unlimited, free supply of colorful flowers?
Using self-seeders is a good idea if you want to encourage wildlife in your yard. Many of these flowers - for example, native species such as blue vervain - are popular with birds, bees and butterflies. The trick with these plants is to leave them alone so that they can set seed and bloom. While we might want to tidy up self-seeders and cut back fading blooms, these plants must be given time to produce and scatter seeds to maintain the floral show.
