Re: Self-seeding perennials


Bill, you sound like a man after my own heart..."natural" it is:-)  I
wonder about your theory on the soil in your beds as Brunnera seems
to seed into just about anything around here - good, bad and ugly.  A
couple of the best clumps I've got put themselves on the top of a
pile of raw clay subsoil and in what passes for sun in my garden and
are happy as clams...think it's that the clay is retentive and that's
what they like - retentive soil.  Really amazes me they aren't
re-seeding for you...most curious.
