Pamela Bateman Garden Design If you have lots of seed I would try planting some now and save some for fall. Once you have them in the garden they will reseed for you. I haven't planted them myself so this is just a guess but mother nature sends out the seed starting in mid summer and through the fall and I am sure the seed blow around until they find some water to germinated. So try planting now and see what happens. The thing I have found about starting things from seed is to plant a lot more than you need and plant at different times of the year until you are successful. Here is a picture of the beautiful seeds ready to blow in the wind.

Benjamin Vogt Leave up ALL YOUR plants in winter. Why? 1) You're tired 2) Provide overwintering habitat for butterflies and caterpillars, and safe shelter for birds along with food sources for them 3) Plants will gather more snow if left up, insulating crowns and protecting them from cold, and the snow will add moisture to the soil for spring green up (unlike lawns which gather much less snow). If in zone 5A like me, cut down plants in March and use them as free mulch. Hollow-stemmed plant cuttings can be made into native bee houses and homes for other beneficial insects.

leahbeth Oh! This is the plant we inherited in our yard. I never identified it properly! The description is perfect. I tried to move it. It was in a small bed floating in the middle of the lawn along with a clump of Siberian irises, (a truly beautiful pairing, btw). Guess what. It died. But the next summer, a healthy clump crept back up in the original location, now right on the corner of the kids' swing set! It was meant to be. They are delighted by their "rattles" in the fall. Each sprig has many seed pods so you can snap a stick off and it has the loveliest rain-stick sort of rattle! Thanks for the id. I'll have to try out one of the other varieties as well!

Joyce Fenner When my son was young we planted sunflowers & supported them by tying to the shed. This summer I have trellises & I'm planting sunflowers below them with his son, my grandson!
