According to summer residents who have been growing ornamental crops on their plots for many years, autumn and winter sowing are a real paradise for flowers.

However, one should not exclude the possibility that due to sudden thaws in winter and other natural disasters the crops will not sprout, so it is recommended to use inexpensive seeds for this purpose.

Crops that tolerate stratification well include primrose, adonis, veronica, aquilegia, viola - all of them are suitable for winter sowing.

Lupines reproduce well on their own and when sown in autumn.

In addition, although marigolds are not resistant to cold, they also successfully spread in a similar way.

If you collect marigold seeds in the fall and add them to your compost pile, there is a good chance they will germinate.

Self-seeding is also typical for cornflowers, which are quite capable of withstanding sub-zero temperatures, as is the favorite of many - cosmos. It can also be planted in late autumn.

Forget-me-not is notable for being a biennial plant that can reproduce on its own. However, it can be planted in the fall, as the flower recovers well from frost damage.
