Speaking of favorites which shouldn't be, especially
with regard to species which can be somewhat too free
with self sowing under irrigated garden conditions:
The following plants are incredibly easy here in
california for shade, and may even fall into the
category of being weedy: Impatiens balfourii, a white
and lavender blooming annual which will self sow with
abandon, and can get to 4-5 feet tall in moist
conditions; Lychnis coronaria/Crown Pink, which will
bloom as well in shade as in full sun, and also is a
prolific self sower; Nigella damascena/Love in a mist,
another annual for sun or shade and self sows readily,
and Lapeirousia cruenta, a cormous bulb with either
white or red flowers and which blooms as well in light
shade as full sun, and volunteers around the garden.
