Seed Saving

I collect seed from my spent flowers on an annual basis. I let the flowers finish out their cycle and harvest the heads after they are dry.

Here is a sample of homemade seed envelopes. Just print to the desired size and fill in your information, cut them out, fold, insert seed and seal your little packets. You are good to go for seed swapping your homegrown seeds! You could put a photo or a drawing of the plant in the space too if that’s your fancy. Make them pretty for gifts!
