It's fall and seeds are everywhere. Here are three reliable (if at times over-enthusiastic) reseeders in my garden.
Mirabilis, or four-o'clock, has been in my garden for years. Returning from tubers as well as seeding itself enthusiastically it will never be gone. Fortunately, I like them...they remind me of my childhood in Ohio.

Self-seeding annuals & biennials are great. All the beauty without the work of planting.
Four o'clocks aren't at all invasive here.
I'm glad you joined in today, Leslie! Their invasive nature is why I don't plant four-o-clocks here. They are lovely, though. Hollyhocks only occasionally will do well for me, dang it. The garlic chives are in a pot and have languished there all summer without a sign of growth.
Three nice choices... haven't seen hollyhock seeds in years - forgot how cool they were, Leslie! A few Striped mallows have lived long enough to keep reseeding here and they look sort of like these. I appreciate any that sprout.
Friends warned me about the invasive Four o'clocks, too, but they've never lived long enough to bloom, let alone reproduce.
