How to harvest seeds from Daisy and Cone flowers.

Want a more prolific flower garden?

Then harvest the seeds off of your dead flowers, ie. deadhead your flowers, and plant those seeds in the spring.

Step 1:

Collect deadheaded flower and let them continue to dry.

Note: 

If seeds do not come off easily then you can either take more time to let them dry, or fight with the flower and slowly pinch and pluck them off.

Step 3: 

Store seeds in a dry location until you are ready to replant them in the spring.
