Have cuttings from last year, grown over winter, but seeded, will they keep growing?
Yeah, you know what I'm talking about..
Bean doing a bit of experimenting..
Cut some clones last season, but obviously a little too late, as there was a male in there. before I cut them they got pollinated, but only lightly.
There's a few haven't made it, but some have continued to grow, it's almost spring here now.
Some have self seeded, but it's been pretty stormy and they dont survive, shooting up too high cos they in the shade (other plants such as Marigolds)
But my question... If these clones continue to grow, being lightly seeded will they continue to seed, without further germination? or will they grow as a 'normal' plant.
they're growing at the moment, but barely, they've lived right thru winter, and have a root system.
Any thoughts?

Once "annuals" set seeds they're usually done, they've completed their plant life cycle (grow, flower, set seeds, drop seeds for next generation, die.)

If these are perennials they should overwinter. If they are annuals like marigolds, set them out after danger of frost and they should last the summer. be sure to harden them off before you set them in the flower bed. They will grow like a normal plant but won't set seeds unless they are pollinated.
Most annuals these days are hybrids. Seeds from hybrid plants won't grow to be like the plant you took the seeds from. A hybrid has been cross pollinated many times so you can end up with any combination of varieties or a variety that it has been cross pollinated with.
There are any number of annuals and perennials which do well in the shade so you don't have to plant sun lovers like Marigolds.
Shade loving Perennials--Astilbe, Ferns, Hosta,Lamium, Golden Creeping Jenny Moneywort
If you have 4 or 5 hours of sun try--Day Lilies. Goats Beard, Foxglove, Ligularia.
Shade loving Annuals--Impatiens, Begonias, Coleus, Fushia. ---Impatiens, Fushia and Coleus are actually tender perennials and you can take cuttings from them or dig up a whole plant and overwinter them inside. The only danger to that is spidermites, so you have to be careful you don't bring them inside with the cuttings
