Good advice, Jim. My mother used to grow moss roses like that. Lush, colorful groundcover.

Something else to consider are annuals that reseed easily. Zinnias, Cosmos, Sunflowers, Cleomes and Morning Glory are some that come up year after year without any effort. Well here in Zone 6 they do. :)
Keep in mind that the seeds from hybrids, be it perrenials or annuals, tend not to grow true to the parent as far as color and other traits go...but they are still pretty and fun to grow.
If you do collect the seeds there is even a seed exchange forum on gardenweb.com where you can publish what seeds you have and what seeds you wished you had.
