How to collect seeds
Read the transcript
Grow next year’s flowers for free by collecting seed from ripe seedheads. Try it with favourites such as marigolds, cosmos and cornflowers.
Keep the dry seeds in labelled envelopes. Look up the best sowing time for each plant, then store the envelopes in a lidded container somewhere dry until you’re ready to sow.
The new plants may look a little different from their parents. Finding out what grows is part of the fun.
