Annuals that keep coming back? and other random plants?
For the last two years porchulaca and petunias have come back and flowered. then there was this weird thing growing. i figured it was weed but was curious to see what would blossom. The most beautiful hot pink hibisbus looking flowers bloomed. Thing is i never had a hibiscus plant. but the oddest thing to come back was 2 tomatoe plants in some random spot in the ground.
anyone else have unexpected things come up?
sometimes all you really need in life is a pink wig.
Re: Annuals that keep coming back? and other random plants?
It's always interesting to see what pops up where in the spring. I like portulaca because you have to buy it only once--it reseeds like crazy year after year.
I have coleus coming up in an area that is a good 100 feet from any coleus plant I had last year. My compost pile has a couple of volunteer tomatoes, and the lawn is always full of rudbeckia. I have zinnias around my mailbox that are all volunteers.
My best surprise of this year was gaura volunteers that popped up in my periwinkle bed. Sadly, they appear to be difficult to transplant -- about a 2/3 failure rate. So maybe they should be left where they are.
I also have epipactis helleborine which comes up every year at random places among my hydrangeas. This year there is just one; last year there were three.
And of course Johnny-Jump-Ups all over the place, I love those little devils!
