porkpal said: I always wondered why we don't plant wildflowers at the time they normally plant themselves which would be shortly after they bloom and set seeds. Any thoughts?
Lol, I've thought about that many times. If they are climate-appropriate, the seeds should survive the winter. However, sowing as early as mid/late summer (after they bloom in spring) in cultivated beds creates a longer window for disturbances from wind, weather, animal consumption and especially human activity. In my garden, self-seeders usually sprout in uncultivated areas around the edges of beds and paths, rarely where I'd like them to grow!
