The seed heads are beautiful and I use them in a mixed vase of autumnal

I always think Harvest Festival is too late for me - most of my crops have
gone over by then

You can keep and dry off Hydrangea heads if you pick them on a dry day -
first you have to find the dry day! You can take the leaves off the
Crocosmia and use the seed heads and Tricyrtis seem to be doing their thing
when we get to that point round here.
