Re: Collecting Hosta Seeds??

Hosta seed are not likely to produce anything of any value unless you've
collected some of the unstable plants. Most will self seed if there is a
little mulch around the plant but only produce an unimpressive green plant. 
With all that said, harvest in Oct-Nov when the pod is ripe. Look for a
sort of black to dark brown winged seed with a little kernel that can be
felt. Sow under lights in Dec-Jan and plant after frost. About 5-6 years to
maturity.
