🌱Seeds can be saved from many trees, shrubs, perennials, aquatic plants, alpines, annuals, biennials, bulbous plants, ornamental grasses vegetables and herbs.🌱
Look for seed pods or heads that have changed colour from green to brown, tan, or black.
Store cleaned seeds in paper envelopes inside a sealed, airtight container with a silica gel packet.
But it’s important to note:
Leaving some plants standing until spring can make a real difference to local wildlife. Seed heads provide an important food source for birds throughout the colder months, while many insects use the stems and heads as shelter.
Some plants will self-seed on their own accord, which eventually germinate in-situ, and provide you with baby plants. But other plants may require a helping hand.
