seeds from dried flowers Help
I have some seeds which I recuperated from some dried out salpiglossis
flowers which we grew from plants this summer. I also have some from a lavatera flower which was grown from seeds. Do I need to do anything with these seeds to keep them ? How do I plant them next year if I want flowers from them ? I am completely new at this and was so thrilled I could actually see the seeds in the dead flower heads.........

Joanne,
I do not know salpiglossis flowers, so I cannot help you for this particu= lar seed. Last year I collected a lot of seeds. I kept them in paper envelope= s and I planted them this year following the instruction for each type of seeds. = Some were very successful others were not. Why? I cannot tell. I planted lots = of pansies. Since they were hybrids, I got all kinds of colours and shapes. = It was quite fun to see them flowered. I had some Heliopsis, which were not big enough to be divided yet. So I g= athered some seeds. Since I could not find any instruction on how to plant them, = I looked for some flowers that may be similar. I planted the seeds in the h= ouse in winter and transplanted the little plants in the garden in spring. They f= lowered and are still flowering. I was glad because I thought I had lost my origi= nal plant during the winter. Have fun with your seeds. Fran=E7oise.

A great way to find out particulars on seeds and planting times etc is to
order a free catalog from a reputable seed company in your country ( Stokes Seeds in Canada ). The catalog should contain all sorts of information on planting times, germination times, Zone hardiness, description of plant, resistance to disease etc. -- Jayel "Françoise" wrote in message ...

I keep harvested seed in paper envelopes -- remember to label WELL -- in my garage. It never gets cold enough out there to freeze; if yours does, a basement might be a better choice.
