Self seeding flowers

[Baaaaaaaa]

Thinking ahead to next year - what are the best self seeding flowers ?

I dont want vigorous spreaders like Forget-Me-Nots, just a gentle spreader, something that will fill approx the same space, year after year.

Why don't you just use perrenials anyway!

Nasturiums seem to come up year after year.

Marigold and calendula self seed and also make good companions

Cosmos and cornflowers are good self seeders

Good perennial self seeders I've got are thalictrum aquilegiafolia, dierama pulcherimmum, verbena bonariensis, campanula lactiflora, meconopsis and an adenophora, which I forget which variety it is.  They will all be ready for seed collection soon.
