Re: seed harvesting





At least with the annual rudbeckia, I let it reseed where it wants.  I
always have plants the following year.  If you want it in a specific place,
I've actually taken a dried seed head and crumbled it up over the surface
of the ground and lightly covered it with soil in the fall when I cut the
stalks back.  The seeds, mind you, are extremely small, almost dust-like in
size.

I live in zone 5/6 and using this method, I have had great success.  I find
that it is almost too easy with echinacea (purple coneflower) as well.  I
have them growing side-by-side and always have an abundance of plants to
give away each year by doing this method in the fall.
