Free plants. Recently I heard from a Southern California gardener that their five-year-old island bush poppy (Dendromecon harfordii) had perished, but that a baby bush poppy was thriving in a nearby spot in the garden. They rarely, if ever, trimmed off spent flowers from this plant, so I was not surprised that it had reseeded in the landscape.This is the kind of happy accident that occurs in healthy native ecosystems and is a source of great joy for most gardeners.
If you feel like your garden is getting too wild-looking with plants reseeding all over the place, try viewing it with an editorial eye: Make decisions about which seedlings to keep and which seedlings to remove based on the rules of massing and repetition in the garden.
