Along with larkspur and a few others, this ranks high among the annuals whose reseeding habits we encourage in our garden. We've learned to recognize the seedlings by their soft, rounded appearance, and leave them where we want to establish a stand (they look best massed together). With some deadheading, they keep blooming through the summer. Although other colors exist, ours are all golden orange.
