coreopsis
This time of year my garden is full of annuals that re seed
almost like having perennials
The coreopsis above was originally a red midget , but after several years of wild reseeding I get all kinds of great color.

The garden is full of sunflowers

Yes many annuals reseed . I find they do well if there is not too much mulch. I think they need some soil to seed contact.
Thumb of 2016-09-01/gardengus/31c552
Bachelors buttons and catchfly
both come up well in the potted area

Thumb of 2016-09-01/gardengus/3fb322
the alpine catchfly came up too thick in this pot but made a nice display.

This year there are not many annuals ready to reseed, and we are near to frost time.
Other years have been better for annuals to reseed.
Most of the seeds are coming from biennials and perennials this year.
Sweet William, Siberian wallflower, peach leaf bell flowers.

With a shorter season do you just have to purchase seeds and then sow in the summer?
Like for bachelors buttons or poppies and such.

Bachelor Buttons will reseed.
I did a slow walk around and here are the reseeders.
Not all will reseed,but if I collect the seeds---I can reseed them in spring.
Borage reseeds and comes up every where.
Thumb of 2016-09-09/CarolineScott/d46ac3
California poppies occasionally reseed themselves, but I save seeds and reseed in early spring.

Thumb of 2016-09-09/CarolineScott/b9e82b
Phacelia tanecetifolia reseeds everywhere on its own.

Continuing-
Phacelia campanularia has to be seeded every spring, although the odd one will show up on its own. Not a reliable reseeder here.

Cleome serrulata occasionally reseeds itself, but I save seeds and sow in early spring.

Thumb of 2016-09-09/CarolineScott/45694e
Dwarf Bachelor Buttons are better if sown in early spring as they are not reliable reseeders.

Thumb of 2016-09-09/CarolineScott/c6ca1e
Mimulus will occasionally reseed itself, but I collect the seeds and start under lights in house.

They are only 10 or 12 inches tall here.
I like them because they are not as floppy as the regular Bachelor Buttons.

The tall strain I get from Select Seeds is called Emperor Wiliam and is a good deep blue.

Sorry----getting the strains mixed up.
The dwarf one that is good blue comes from Stokes Seeds.

California poppies, Mexican milkweed, Calendula, Gaillardia, Feverfew.
I used to have more; Lion's Tail, Persian poppies and Rose campion, but I'm just too good a weeder sometimes, LOL.
I had a nice returning Cosmos patch until the birds finally ate ALL the seeds one year.

Well that's interesting. I just bought a pack of snow-on-the-mountain seeds. I thought Euphorbias were perennials, at least all the ones I have are. So I guess I'll need to treat these a little differently than I thought. They sure are pretty and I bet the wildlife will leave them alone too. I have deer, rabbits, gophers, wood rats, tree rats, and mice all eating my garden up. The plants that do best are non-edible.
