I ask this because many decades ago, my mother used to have HBMG's that came back year after year. I cannot find perennial seeds - only annual seeds. But last fall, my husband ordered 'fill' dirt for his new berry plots...and we have growing from that- Hevenly Blues! Could these be the perennnial type that sprouted from the seeds that were in the dirt from who knows where.
Thanks everyone for your help!!

Annuals ... but as they drop their seeds at the end of the year, the seeds are in a natural environment through the winter to be ready for germination the following spring. This is called self-seeding, but don't count on it because winter conditions can sometimes be too harsh for the seeds to come back the following spring.
Best bet for HBMG and other favorites: about six weeks before final frost, start the seeds in sunny windows; sow the seeds after the last frost in your area or buy bedding plants.
Remember, seeds from hybrids will not be true to the plant you had the year before.
Isn't it nice to have something from "home" in your garden?!

Thanks for reminding me of the beauty of this flower, I shall be ordering seeds. I have included a couple of links for ordering.
They are annuals but can and do disperse seeds that may or may not grow the following year .

Annuals, but if you let the seeds develope they will usually reseed themselves and come back better every year. Thicker and healthier!
Or you can gather the seeds in the fall and plant them in other places too!

I let the vines die and turn brown so I could collect the seeds this year. The vines looked ugly for about two weeks, but I got a bumper crop of seeds!

Yes, they certainly could be...they are gorgeous, aren't they!! I have heavenly blue's and they have been growing out of a man made pot growing off my back deck...I have been tempted just to leave them and see what happens, but they won't survive the winter months...maybe I can get some of that 'fill'!!

They are annuals, but they reseed themselves if the soil where they were planted is left undisturbed.
