You can blow gently into the cup and some of the husks will fly out of the container, leaving the seeds behind.

Thanks, guys! Your seed collecting tutorial was great.

[@SpokenGarden]

Awesome thank you very helpful

[@SpokenGarden]

Hi @bec5133! 👋🏼👋🏼 Thank you for saying that and for watching! 😊😀

Thanks for the tutorial, I’m about to harvest seeds and cut mine down for the first time in the next few weeks. I was wondering about seed storage, you said keep them in a cool dry place, but what if you want to keep them for over a year, will they survive the following summer if it’s hot? Cause I don’t have air conditioning and my house gets in the 80s sometimes so I don’t want the seeds to go bad. I could keep them in a moisture sealed bag in the fridge, or is potential fridge moisture a bigger problem. Also, for storage, can the seeds survive in a plastic air sealed bag? Or do they prefer the paper ones that still breath a little.

When should you plant the seeds? March the following year? How long til the seeds grow and produce flowers?

[@thesweetspot1425]

Yes, when you plant the seeds?

[@SteveTessLifeUSA]

thank you for your video I am wondering if I can save the seeds, we started 1 pot this yr now we saw seeds. we are glad we come across your chnl.

[@SpokenGarden]

Hi Steve&Tess! 👋 Welcome and happy to see you both here. Glad our video was helpful. 😁 Did you collect your seeds yet? Did you save a lot of them?

[@deniserolph1354]

Hi. Great video So when do you sow the seeds and are you likely to have flowers from them that following year?

[@katarinajohansson9088]

An allotment neighbour chopped down all of her Montbretia. But the seed pods are still "fresh". is there any way I can get the seeds from them anyway?

[@locandy-pants5057]

Will the seeds grow if planted directly into the ground?

[@jimcoulter5877]

You need to get them before the damned DEER eat them!
