A well-kept flower bed or flower garden requires a lot of work and time to plant.

But there is a category of flowers that belong to the category of self-seeding flowers – they take on part of the work of caring for the flower bed.

These unpretentious flowers cope with reproduction on their own, without the help of the owner.

Let's see what species the expert of the online publication "Belnovosti" and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh recommends planting.

What self-sown flowers are suitable for your plot

Here are 5 options.

  1. Cornflowers. These flowers reproduce on their own – they decorate the garden from the beginning of summer until autumn.
  2. California poppy loves sunny places. They scatter seeds in the fall and bloom in May.
  3. Zinnia. It is enough to provide the flower with fertile soil with neutral acidity.
  4. Lupine. These flowers are often used in garden beds as green manure – they are beautiful and unpretentious.
  5. Pansies. These beautiful flowers love to "escape" from the flowerbed, spreading throughout the area.
