Honesty - collecting seeds

Now that the honesty flowers are turning to seeds I an wondering how to collect them and when to plant them. They keep appearing but I would ideally like a clump of them ( also hoping to 'acquire' white ones if I can find some)

 

Wait until the pods go translucent and papery - in at least 6 weeks time. Then they split open easily to get the seeds out - they are fairly big and easy to handle. You can sow and grow on in pots but I've found the largest and finest plants are the self sown ones that have stood all winter.

You can transplant surplus ones to form a clump.

If you want white try saving the seed from the white ones but they will probably have cross-pollinated so no guarantees of getting white. I have occasionally had variegated leaf ones but these are weaker plants, I think.

 

Great thanks for the info
