Autumn (September) is the ideal month to collect and save seeds from perennials. In this video, we walk through which of our plants are ready now and how to harvest and store their seed for use next spring. We garden in Fredericia, Denmark (Zone 8 equivalent), so if you're in a similar climate, these plants should work well for you too.

3:56 – Silene vulgaris (Bladder Campion)
7:07 – Astrantia (Masterwort)
9:54 – Asters (Michaelmas Daisy)
12:04 – Althaea officinalis (Marsh Mallow)
