I love purple coneflower. I bought three plants last year (2019), and this spring they came back so thick that I split one plant into 2, and added it to my garden. Now I have 4 plants doing great. It’s hard to kill coneflower. Great video by the way. I also harvest the seeds, and sprinkle them in my garden. They came up this year too.
I planted three different colours last year. In the fall, I pulled the seeds out and just dropped them beside the plants of origin. So far, it doesn't look like they "took". So I'll try this way. Thanks so much for taking the time to post!
Love your videos. I started saving all type of flower seeds when was about eight. I would always collect when we go to zoos and just any place with beautiful gardens. My mother would always require me to get permission to harvest such said seeds. On our different travels I have collect heirloom varieties and met many wonderful people always so willing to share their knowledge and of course those seeds. That was over 50 years ago and today I have tried to share my seeds with anyone but especially youngsters that show an interest. Paper cups and a little soil can spark that interest in most little ones. I collect all types of seeds and yes even some that people deem as weeds. Collect, plant, share, enjoy, and get excited each time you see Gods miracle sprout through that dirt. Keep doing your videos.
yes!!🙌it is so amazing how one little seed can produce so much beauty! That was such a wonderful idea to collect seeds. I bet you have grown some amazing things over the years. Yes I try and get the kids involved so that they can know and learn how things are grown and where they come from. Thank you so much for watching!
David It is a wonderful story, congratulations for your knowledge during that bunch of years, I am learning and I love to collect my seeds because I am living in New Jersey and here we have beautiful gardens. Blessings.
@@auyannaplants If you put the dried seed pods in a coffee can, mason jar, etc. and then shake it, it totally separates the seed from the pointy pod and you can discard the entire (in tact) pod and throw it away then. You're left with the seeds without picking through them. Best to cut the pod from the flower base, let it dry for a week to remove all moisture that was in the stem, then shake them in a can or jar to separate the seeds. Great video!
True. Shaking releases the seeds. But if Auyanna did that, we wouldn't get to listen to her peaceful voice so so long! Love this video and the love you are sharing!
I always appreciate learning from those who share their garden knowledge. I depend on these videos because I avoided gardening all my life, but now I am retired and making an effort to learn. Now I did learn from another video that showed how to separate the seeds. The echinacea tops were placed in a container with a top and shaken. He used an empty plastic Folgers coffee container; it was amazing how the seeds separated making the process less messy and efficient. I look forward to watching more videos from you; I feel like I have made a gardening friend. Thank you very much.
I absolutely love how you explain things. I am a new seed collector but I can see this is going to be my new hobby, lol. My favorite seed so far is Sweet William. It is a perennial and very easy to grow. I planted a coneflower last summer that I grew from "store bought" seed. This year I'll be seeding it for next year. Can't wait to see how it turns out. Thank you for posting this wonderful video. Keep up the good work!!!
Thank you so much for watching! Collecting seeds are awesome. I definitely want to try the sweet william, they are such a beautiful plant. Good luck to you and your seed collecting!
I bought a coneflower plant at a Native Plant Sale here in Middle Tennessee last year. I planted it last summer. This year, that thing is taller than I am!
I have echinacea flowers that died, but thanks to you, i will be sure to save them from here on out to collect the seeds. I still have a few left. Thank you for your video❤
Yes! Definitely save those seeds. This year we had some volunteers to pop up over the garden. These were from the seeds that I did not harvest in time. Thank you so much for watching!
Thank you so much for your very informative video. I bought two coneflowers that I will definitely collect the seeds from when the time comes. Thank you again.
Thank you, I bought coneflower this year for the first time, they are beautiful, I will collect the seeds. Last year I collected cannan lilies seeds, I now I have cannan lilies everywhere
This native plant is so beneficial for pollinators. It’s a classic 😊 that I am finding harder to come by because people want the colorful hybrids. I started mine from seed too.
Yes I love this plant for it's beauty and for it's medicinal benefits as well and the birds and pollinators definitely love them. Thank you so much for watching!
Great video and I love your garden, your plants look sooo healthy!!! :0) - now I know what to look out for and how to do it, I shall start saving seeds.
The zinnias were definitely a work horse for me in the garden. Although the temperatures have dropped here they are still blooming beautifully. I have been saving seeds for those as well to replant next year😀
Hello good day for you, I am writing to you from Mexico, I saw your video of how to plant Echinacea seed, I bought some in England because the US companies do not send to Mexico, I am going to sow some seeds, picking up the grace of God germinate,
Hi and thank you so much for watching. I know you are going to enjoy them and make sure you save the seeds. Mine are coming back up from last year. Wishing you much success with your seeds😀
I too save seeds. I plant for the monarch butteries and work with swamp, butterfly weed and tropical seeds. Great way to share too! Thank you for this awesome video.
This was so very helpful! I just started growing these and will start gathering seeds for next year. Thank you for taking the time to teach about the seeds. God Bless. Bernice
Yay!! So glad that you found the video help. You will love coneflowers and this year we had some volunteers come up as well. Thank you so much for watching!
That's OK and you are not a dummy you just did not know but now you do and now you can save those seeds and plant them. We actually had some volunteer plants come up. Thanks so much for watching!
I have done the same thing and now I know to look for a white colored Square looking seed. Your video was spotty being that you pulled the spikes from the coneflower and then jumped to the marigolds. Then you went back to show that the spikes are not used
Thanks for the information. I started growing coneflowers last year and they looked great this year! But, I want more so I am going to follow your advice! Woo Hoo!
Yes save those seeds. We actually had a few volunteers to pop up in the garden this year. Once they got big enough, I dug them up and relocated them in another part of the garden and they are doing well. Thanks so much for watching!
I live in zone 5 and my echinacea plant has come back every year for the last three years. I may save some seeds this year and plant more in a different area.
YEEESSS! I love to hear this. They are so great to have in the garden and we also get volunteers that pop up in the garden. Thank you so much for watching!
This video is very helpful. I had a garden full of coneflowers but now it has beautiful grass. But, I no longer have my purple cone flowers. I went shopping and was shocked by the price of my favorite flower. I wish I had seen this video before I had my husband sod our front lawn. I have decided to try and plant from seed.
Yes coneflower is a beautiful flower. When you grow them again definitely save the seeds so you can grow more and more. Thank you so much for watching!
Thanks for the info on how to save seeds from Cone . never tried to save the seeds from this plant and did not know where they were. Have a great day and keep up the good work. P in Okla.
Thank you for all the wonderful info. I saved my seeds this year, but I haven’t took the seeds out of the dried flower yet...so this was good info. Your right, when the flower is dry, they can be very prickly. I don’t like to wear gloves either. 🍃🌺🍃
Love this video Sista. I am growing echinacea for the first time and will mos def save my seeds. I save all my basil mint and other getb seeds. Just started collecting zinnia seeds and other flowers.
I bought the plants from Lowes because I have fell in love with Echinacea. I plan on keeping some seed from them. I have Zinnia's I planted by just sowing the seed in ground. I live in southeast Alabama so it worked out so good with our hot and humid weather. Just hope my Echinacea does as good as my Zinnia's have..My friend got bit by a Black Widow earlier in the spring. Had to drive to Pell City from Anniston/Oxford to get shots. It was really bad, so yes be careful.
I love echinacea. We had some to reseed in the garden. I pull the plants and potted it up in a separate container to grow on and it is already taking off. I am so sorry to hear about your friend. A black widow....ouch. I try my best to protect myself in the garden. Stay safe and cool and thank you so much for watching!
@@auyannaplants No problem. I just started my RUclips plant channel and was searching for a youtuber with a good video on echinacea seeds to subscribe to. Yours was pretty informative.
Nice ! I’ve been lazy with mine - I crumble the dried head n sprinkle in garden ….. but I only have a few orange , red n white pedal echinacea so those I’m going to do the way your shared ! I have so many purple that I just did the lazy way past 3 years … but they have multiplied 😊 I love when you can get seeds from existing plants , brown eye Susan’s ? I’m going to try that …. Only have a few in my garden that I purchased this year n I’d love to have more ❤ thanks again !
Yes I love when the plants keep giving seeds and making new ones. I am so happy that yours have multiplied what a great gift. Thank you so much for watching!
I do save seeds.!😍 i agree its like gold to me too. I save “roses of Sharon” bush which is one of my favorite flower in my garden/yard. Plus my hummingbirds love the roses of sharon and the flowers are breathtaking. Im excited to try extracting the seeds off my breathtaking cone flowers as well as my butterfly bushes. I loove my perinals and i will save every seed off each one that will give them.my one rose of sharon bush is soo large it has grown up my entire house to the second floor onto the siding. Its soo beautiful and i started that one from seed.. thank you so much for such a insightful video with great advice.. god bless you and your entire family 🙏🏻❤️🥰
Mrs. NG just saved some purple coneflower from my parent's house and is going to make some herbal tea with them. Now we are going to save the seeds and plant them out in the front yard. We have saved some of our brassicas seeds from last year like kohlrabi and kale. thanks for sharing.
Thanks so much for watching. That is awesome. I definitely want to try the echinacea tea. I know the coneflowers will be beautiful, I absolutely have fallen in love with them. Good luck with the brassicas. I saved some bok choy seeds from last season. I am beginning to start my fall garden.
You are so welcome. Yes you definitely should be able to sow in the fall. It gets way colder for you in Memphis than here in GA and they need that cold period. Thank you so much for watching!
Loved your video. I save all kinds of seeds. Vegetable and flower. My Lemon Balm this year was absolutely gorgeous. I've had a hard time growing the coneflowers but this year I found some plants at Walmart and bought a couple. They are doing fantastic. I am trying to grow all my herbs that I love
Thank you so much. Each season I try to sacrifice one plant and save these seeds. I am so glad that you were able to find coneflowers. I know they will be beautiful and lemon balm is one of my favorites especially to use in tea. Thank you so much for watching!
I've been saving all sorts of seeds and lots of them. I had been eyeing the Cheyenne Spirit at Home Depot but it was $21.00 and I don't usually spend that much but I loved all of the bright, beautiful colors. I splurged and bought one and it's gorgeous! I decided to buy it because it will be back every year, plus I can save seeds and plant them in more spots. At $21.00, saving the seeds does = a gold mine! I've also got huge, beautiful giant Zinnias which I'm saving the seeds from as well as small marigolds, small Zinnias, giant marigolds, and one of my favorites...celosia! I've just recently learned about where seeds are on some flowers. Some are easy like Zinnias and marigolds but celosia, and petunias are trickier, but after learning about seed pods, I've a ton of petunia seeds as well! 🙂
I love the Cheyenne Spirit coneflower it is so beautiful. I love buying perennials so that I can have them longer. I love that you are saving seeds......YES once you figure out which one of the seeds you will have to buy less and less flowers and just continue to replant what you save. Saving seeds are great because those seeds will be more acclimated to your climate. Thank you so much for watching!
Great video.!! Cone flowers are one of my favorites and one of my newest additions to my garden tailored for hummingbirds.. my humming birds are one of gods creatures i look forward to every year...🥰❤️ Much love from Massachusetts.. god bless you and ur entire family. I made sure to subscribe.. watch out for that bee..😹😹
Great video I only save vegetables seeds for the moment but I have saved flower seeds in the past selection of quality seeds will give you superior plants in most cases tfs!!!
Thanks so much for watching. Vegetables seeds are great to save. I saved some bok choy seeds from last year so I am almost ready to start them indoors.😀
I usually buy echinacea seeds, I don’t know why I’ve have never tried to save them yet. I like to leave them for the birds but I’m sure they’re not eating them all. 🤣
i purchased two coneflowers from homedepot real cheap half price because theyre just letting them die outside '(really sad) and now I have my own seeds!!!! thanks. i plan on building a garden for monarchs. I had one monarch come by all summer every day. fluttering around my head. just one. plant milkweed please for the monarchs. they can only lay their eggs on those specific leaves. there are many varieties of milkweed and its a beautiful perennial. also zinnias are an awesome flower to grow. thanks. again.
I totally understand. I buy alot of my plants on clearance and most of the time they come back and are beautiful. I had so many butterflies visit the garden this year. I was truly amazed. I love zinnias but I will definitely look into the milkweed😀
@Nathan Anderson Thanks so much for watching! I will check out Prairie Moon Nursery but the purple cone flowers in my garden I got from Johnny Seeds and started them from seed. I really love them and they attract so many bees and butterflies.
Oooohhh those brown recluse😶😶😶 I was bit and was unconscious, (from my own overwhelming fear) but was brought right to the hospital after the itchy stage and I realized it wasn't a chigger bite. Within the next couple hrs that strange brown line began appearing. Luckily, I was already in route to the hospital. Crazy, 3 glasses of ice water couldn't keep me awake on the ride to Conway Medical. The ice water probably felt too good in the still hot summer night. I miss South Carolina, it's laid back feel, the almost stuck in time feel to what seemed like many towns I visited- besides Myrtle Beach, of course. My neighbors (you know I mean the whole road, they'd INSIST on a weekly gathering and though I felt a bit guilty for being so far away from my own family, they ALL, incuding those at Conway Baptist Church, made it an absolute MUST that I accept to be welcomed as a part of their family. For the few years I was there. (With time each yr to visit home, of course) The time in between (I could throw a rock and hit Border Patrol- Upstate- not 5 mins outside NYC/Albany. I work in Albany, so I'm 2&1/2 hrs north) going from NY and SC, took some adjustments each time. What I'll never forget about the people I met, those who touched my heart and the truly genuine, authentic way everyone treats everyone. After living there for 3 yrs, the word, "Southern Hospitality", have an entirely different meaning- to me, an intuitive empath anyways. I have sub'd to your channel. Thank you for sharing how to collect these seeds, as I also hate wearing gloves (in the garden for anything too- it's the feels) but I feel pulling from the top first, may illeviate some of the poking. Lol.
Thank you so much! I am so glad that you are OK from the spider bites. It is crazy. I appreciate you subscribing and we actually had some volunteer echinacea plants pop up this year that I dug up and replanted in other parts of the garden. Thanks for watching!
@@auyannaplants Not a hoverfly, it was actually a robberfly. (Pause at 3:06) Also generally harmless to people (though they are capable of biting in self defense) and a very convenient predator to have in your garden.
Thanks for this video. I have recently retired and started a lot of gardening and am learning as I go along. I adore echinacea flowers as they are so colourful, especially the vivid orange variety Kismet. They are very expensive to buy as plants here, about $15 ! So I am going to try to grow from seed. At what time of year would you sow the seed ? The UK is zone 9. Thank you 😊
Your video was so helpful! I have 5 of these plants in my garden and been wanting to get more of them for next year in different places in my yard. So happy to subscribe to your channel to learn more! 🌿🌞🌱🦋 marigolds next!
Yay! Love hearing this. We had volunteer coneflowers to pop up in the garden and I love it. Welcome to Southern Entertaining and we are so glad that you are hear. Make sure you watch our video on saving marigold seeds as well. I love saving these seeds and planting them in the garden each year. Thank you so much for watching!
I normally let the plant die back naturally and leave some of the flower heads for the birds over the winter. Once I start to see the new growth in the spring I then go in and clean off any old debris around the plant to make way for the new growth. I hope this helps and thank you so much for watching!
Great video, thank you... Yes the roots have more medicinal power, but a person should wait a few years & so the more roots the better... I've learned that the whole plants is eatable, but of course I would not eat the top middle part, a bit painful, but wonder IF a person could use that part, after getting the seeds out 1st, then I wonder IF the pointy middle of the top & add when making Tinctures with 80 or above of vodka alcohol as well as other choices of alcohol, great for soups, salads & so much more... I watched a video where this man even used the stock of this awesome medicinal plant to add to his tincture...

Thank you so much for sharing this. I definitely want to grow more echinacea for its many benefits plus it is beautiful in the garden and the bees love it. I am pretty sure you can grow it in a pot. It may not get as big if grown in the ground but you should be able to grow it still. Thank you so much for watching!

@@auyannaplants Butterflies love them as well on some of these medicinal flowers/plants that I've got Echinacea with seeds, I got 2 packets. I got 1 packet of Catnip & already popping up, but a little leggy, so I added more healthy soil around them & added the rest of the packet of seeds & so my cats & I can have enough of the catnip as well as for myself, as cat nip has medicinal value, can drink in tea...

U trim the lower fan leafs? I have one in plant and like the bottom of stem has a bunch of elephant ear type fan leafs ive been trimming but idk if im hurting plant or not i want a nice yield have 4 chutes so far 1st grow any help is appreciated
My biggest echinacia plant has a lot of drying seed heads this time of the year. A couple of those seeds heads seem to be growing a sort of green fuzz; I let it go for a couple weeks and the green fuzz began looking like. tiny plants, dozens of them... I figured the seeds had began to germinate "on the plant," what, with all the rain, and all, they felt comfortable enough to grow. So, last year I cut off a few seedheads and stuck them in the ground, thinking the little plants had a good head start over the seeds. Well, they died (i did water them.) I was wondering if you had any thoughts on how to make them root, because I'd like to salvage this year's crop. Thank you for any light you might shed on my little problem.
I have heard of this happening before. Depending on what zone you are in, fall is a great time to divide perennials like the coneflower if it is big enough. Hope this helps and thank you so much for watching!
Great video! I have some seeds from old dead flowers. Should I plant them in October or March/April? I’m in the east coast .. I’m not sure when is the best time like before winter or the spring... and also how long before they germinate and I see Flowers? Thanks so much!
Thank you so much for watching. Since we don't get a "true" winter here, we place our seeds in the freezer for about 4-6 weeks and then planted them in the garden late winter. I hope this helps and again thank you so much for watching!
I started saving seeds 3vyrs ago. I have great luck with marigolds and zinnias but my saved echinacea seeds i cannot get germinated. I'm wondering if it's because mine is a hybrid? Great video, I'm a year late but you just popped up in my feed.
We have had volunteers to pop up on our pathway and I would dig them up and pot them. Depending on your zone you may want to put them in the freezer for a couple of months and then try replanting them. I have had to do this because we have a very mild winter. Thank you so much for watching!
Yes I love saving seeds. I actually put my echinacea seeds in the freezer to give them that "cold" period because we have very mild winters. Thank you so much for watching!
I collected wild echinacea in early June in SETX area and dried it. I'm saving the pedals and leaves for tea. I'm going to try to see if there are seeds in the seed heads, but according to other videos, I may have picked it too early. Those seed heads are prickly! Do you collect the seed throughout the blooming season or only near the fall?
You live in zone 8 I live in zone 5 , can’t we just put them in the ground or do you put it in those little containers, I did that and I have like 10 seeds in one little seed starters, they are so huge but beautiful but the first year it doesn’t give flowers, I can imagine next year
yes I am sure you can just plant yours in the ground because it gets that cold period that it needs in zone 5. I normally have to put them in the freezer and then plant. I love them. not too many flowers starting out but each year we get more and more flowers. Thanks for watching
@@auyannaplants , ty , I love them too, lol just bought all different colors and some are turning black and I can’t remember which colors they were, so I am going to put it in the ground and see what happens, I hope I don’t have all the same colors planted in the same spot but thank you for your great video
The blooms that have dried up will stay on until you cut them. If you leave them on they will eventually begin to drop seeds. We had some volunteers this year from the ones that I did not catch in time. Once they got big enough, I dug them up and put them in another spot. Thank you so much for watching!
When do you cut the flower off the plant? Do you have to wait until it is completely dried and brown but still attached to the plant? Or can you cut it off sooner, like when the petals start to wilt but the stem is still green?
It depends on your zone. I have to cold stratify my coneflower seeds. Because we do not have a cold winter here in coastal GA. I put my coneflower seeds in the freezer to simulate winter and then I plant them. I hope this helps and thank you so much for watching!
@@auyannaplants Thanks for that info because I keep my echinacea seeds (all of my seeds) in the refrigerator, and I'm in 7b borderline 8a so I'm definitely going to try it😊👍
Thank you so much for watching! We are in the US and unfortunately I am unable to send seeds to Tanzania. I apologize but I wish you all the luck in finding some. Once you have one plant you can continue to collect the seeds.
Thanks so much for watching! Let me know in the comments below what type of seeds you are saving👍😀
Good morning, I have saved some seeds because I lived in another city and I moved to the current one
I love purple coneflower. I bought three plants last year (2019), and this spring they came back so thick that I split one plant into 2, and added it to my garden. Now I have 4 plants doing great. It’s hard to kill coneflower. Great video by the way. I also harvest the seeds, and sprinkle them in my garden. They came up this year too.
I planted three different colours last year. In the fall, I pulled the seeds out and just dropped them beside the plants of origin. So far, it doesn't look like they "took".
So I'll try this way. Thanks so much for taking the time to post!
78 pink it paid off for me. They’re growing like mad. Lol
Drop them in a paper bag and shake. 😉
Love your videos. I started saving all type of flower seeds when was about eight. I would always collect when we go to zoos and just any place with beautiful gardens. My mother would always require me to get permission to harvest such said seeds. On our different travels I have collect heirloom varieties and met many wonderful people always so willing to share their knowledge and of course those seeds. That was over 50 years ago and today I have tried to share my seeds with anyone but especially youngsters that show an interest. Paper cups and a little soil can spark that interest in most little ones. I collect all types of seeds and yes even some that people deem as weeds. Collect, plant, share, enjoy, and get excited each time you see Gods miracle sprout through that dirt.
Keep doing your videos.
yes!!🙌it is so amazing how one little seed can produce so much beauty! That was such a wonderful idea to collect seeds. I bet you have grown some amazing things over the years. Yes I try and get the kids involved so that they can know and learn how things are grown and where they come from. Thank you so much for watching!
David It is a wonderful story, congratulations for your knowledge during that bunch of years, I am learning and I love to collect my seeds because I am living in New Jersey and here we have beautiful gardens. Blessings.
Bee staring you in the face! Precious. Love your gentle voice.
Thank you so much! the bees love to lay on the flowers like a pillow. Thank you so much for watching!
If you just cut off the coneflower from the stem and place them in a brown bag and shake them, you don’t have to use your fingers. It’s much faster :)
I will definitely try this because some times those little spikes can hurt. Thanks for sharing and thank you so much for watching!
Ooh awesome tip, thanks!
@@auyannaplants If you put the dried seed pods in a coffee can, mason jar, etc. and then shake it, it totally separates the seed from the pointy pod and you can discard the entire (in tact) pod and throw it away then.

Best to cut the pod from the flower base, let it dry for a week to remove all moisture that was in the stem, then shake them in a can or jar to separate the seeds. Great video!
True. Shaking releases the seeds.
But if Auyanna did that, we wouldn't get to listen to her peaceful voice so so long!
Love this video and the love you are sharing!
The bee was being part of the audience trying to learn on how to collect the seeds 🤭🤣
😂yes! I guess the bee wanted some screen time as well. Thank you so much for watching!
That bee was thanking you for planting all those pollinator-friendly flowers for them! You're feeding him!
I always appreciate learning from those who share their garden knowledge. I depend on these videos because I avoided gardening all my life, but now I am retired and making an effort to learn. Now I did learn from another video that showed how to separate the seeds. The echinacea tops were placed in a container with a top and shaken. He used an empty plastic Folgers coffee container; it was amazing how the seeds separated making the process less messy and efficient. I look forward to watching more videos from you; I feel like I have made a gardening friend. Thank you very much.
Yes gardening is amazing and the beautiful feeling you have when you grow. Thank you so much for sharing and thank you for watching!
The bee in the beginning cracked me up!! Helpful video. Thanks!
Thank you for watching!
Me, too. LOL!
I absolutely love how you explain things. I am a new seed collector but I can see this is going to be my new hobby, lol. My favorite seed so far is Sweet William. It is a perennial and very easy to grow. I planted a coneflower last summer that I grew from "store bought" seed. This year I'll be seeding it for next year. Can't wait to see how it turns out. Thank you for posting this wonderful video. Keep up the good work!!!
Thank you so much for watching! Collecting seeds are awesome. I definitely want to try the sweet william, they are such a beautiful plant. Good luck to you and your seed collecting!
very good video, great visual and seed demonstration
Thank you so much and thank you for watching!
I bought a coneflower plant at a Native Plant Sale here in Middle Tennessee last year. I planted it last summer. This year, that thing is taller than I am!
Thank you ... very clear in concise to be able to identify my seeds from a plant.
You are so welcome and thank you so much for watching!
I have echinacea flowers that died, but thanks to you, i will be sure to save them from here on out to collect the seeds. I still have a few left. Thank you for your video❤
Yes! Definitely save those seeds. This year we had some volunteers to pop up over the garden. These were from the seeds that I did not harvest in time. Thank you so much for watching!
Loved this video!!
Thank you so much and I am glad that you found it helpful. Thank you so much for watching!
o i jus picked some the other week. i was definitely not gonna buy more seeds , so i’m glad you’re hip too mama 😘
yes! I love saving seeds. Thank you so much for watching!
brian was here! learning. God Bless USA.
Thank you so much Brian for watching and I ope you enjoyed the video.
Thank you so much for your very informative video. I bought two coneflowers that I will definitely collect the seeds from when the time comes. Thank you again.
Yes I absolutely love saving seeds from garden. Thank you so much for watching!
Thank you, I bought coneflower this year for the first time, they are beautiful, I will collect the seeds. Last year I collected cannan lilies seeds, I now I have cannan lilies everywhere
Yes! Definitely collect those seeds. We have volunteer coneflowers in the garden this year and I love it.
This native plant is so beneficial for pollinators. It’s a classic 😊 that I am finding harder to come by because people want the colorful hybrids. I started mine from seed too.
Yes I love this plant for it's beauty and for it's medicinal benefits as well and the birds and pollinators definitely love them. Thank you so much for watching!
Great video and I love your garden, your plants look sooo healthy!!! :0) - now I know what to look out for and how to do it, I shall start saving seeds.
Thank you so much and thank you so much for watching!
I absolutely love this young ladies vids. Subscribing!!!
Welcome and thank you so much for subscribing. We are happy to have you join us.
thank you for showing how to find the seed's loved your video
You are so welcome and thank you so much for watching!
i have thousands of zinnias very vibrant colors. my zinnias grew six feet high no lie. and they are still budding. thank you.
The zinnias were definitely a work horse for me in the garden. Although the temperatures have dropped here they are still blooming beautifully. I have been saving seeds for those as well to replant next year😀
yes this builds our immunity. ladies and gents
yes!!!
Hello good day for you, I am writing to you from Mexico, I saw your video of how to plant Echinacea seed, I bought some in England because the US companies do not send to Mexico, I am going to sow some seeds, picking up the grace of God germinate,
Hi and thank you so much for watching. I know you are going to enjoy them and make sure you save the seeds. Mine are coming back up from last year. Wishing you much success with your seeds😀
🙏this is not supposed to
🐝 part of the video… as I run from a yellow jacket watching you run from a bee 😂❤
Great vid...thanks for your time!
Thank you so much for watching!
Good info--THANKS!!!
Thank you so much and thanks for watching!
I too save seeds. I plant for the monarch butteries and work with swamp, butterfly weed and tropical seeds. Great way to share too! Thank you for this awesome video.
Thank you so much for watching and I know the butterflies absolutely love that you plant the coneflowers.
I really appreciate your channel, it helps me with my big garden project and becoming more self-sufficient. Thank you.
Thank you so much and thank you so much for watching!
thank you cuz i plan on replanting my seeds specifically for the monarch butterflies. they need milkweed and cone flowers to lay eggs..
Thanks so much for watching! Definitely save those seeds and plant them. Cone flowers are not only beautiful but has many great uses.
This was so very helpful! I just started growing these and will start gathering seeds for next year. Thank you for taking the time to teach about the seeds. God Bless. Bernice
Yay!! So glad that you found the video help. You will love coneflowers and this year we had some volunteers come up as well. Thank you so much for watching!
Thank you so much for this!!! I am such a dummy I saved the spikey things and spread them in the garden, no wonder I didn't get flowers. Great video!
That's OK and you are not a dummy you just did not know but now you do and now you can save those seeds and plant them. We actually had some volunteer plants come up. Thanks so much for watching!
I have done the same thing and now I know to look for a white colored Square looking seed. Your video was spotty being that you pulled the spikes from the coneflower and then jumped to the marigolds. Then you went back to show that the spikes are not used
Thanks for the video, nice lady! 😉
You are so welcome and thank you for watching!
I use the head of one pod to scrape out another. No pain and no mess.
Such a great idea. Thank you so much for sharing this and thank you so much for watching!
Excellent video. Thanks for sharing. ❤️
Thank you so much for watching. Glad you enjoyed the video😀
Thanks for the information. I started growing coneflowers last year and they looked great this year! But, I want more so I am going to follow your advice! Woo Hoo!
Yes save those seeds. We actually had a few volunteers to pop up in the garden this year. Once they got big enough, I dug them up and relocated them in another part of the garden and they are doing well. Thanks so much for watching!
I live in zone 5 and my echinacea plant has come back every year for the last three years. I may save some seeds this year and plant more in a different area.
YEEESSS! I love to hear this. They are so great to have in the garden and we also get volunteers that pop up in the garden. Thank you so much for watching!
This video is very helpful. I had a garden full of coneflowers but now it has beautiful grass. But, I no longer have my purple cone flowers. I went shopping and was shocked by the price of my favorite flower. I wish I had seen this video before I had my husband sod our front lawn. I have decided to try and plant from seed.
Yes coneflower is a beautiful flower. When you grow them again definitely save the seeds so you can grow more and more. Thank you so much for watching!
Thanks I’ll start mine tomorrow
Yes! Thank you so much for watching!
@@auyannaplants You’re welcome
Thanks for the info on how to save seeds from Cone . never tried to save
the seeds from this plant and did not know where they were.
Have a great day and keep up the good work. P in Okla.
You are so welcome. This season we had some volunteers to pop up and I loved it. Thank you so much for watching!
thank you. loved your video
Thank you so much for watching!
Excellent video and love your Marigolds. Thank you for the video!
Thank you so much! We love our marigolds. They will always have a place in the garden. Thank you so much for watching!
Enjoyed your video !
Love and best wishes from the UK.
Thank you and thank you so much for watching! I am glad that you enjoyed the video.
Thank you for all the wonderful info. I saved my seeds this year, but I haven’t took the seeds out of the dried flower yet...so this was good info. Your right, when the flower is dry, they can be very prickly. I don’t like to wear gloves either. 🍃🌺🍃
You are so welcome and I am so glad that you are saving those seeds. Thank you so much for watching!
Love this video Sista. I am growing echinacea for the first time and will mos def save my seeds. I save all my basil mint and other getb seeds. Just started collecting zinnia seeds and other flowers.
I love saving seeds and it is so amazing. Thank you so much for watching!
Thank you for the inspiration! I thoroughly enjoyed collecting from one of my favorites
You are so welcome. We actually had a few volunteer plants pop up. Thank you so much for watching!
I bought the plants from Lowes because I have fell in love with Echinacea. I plan on keeping some seed from them. I have Zinnia's I planted by just sowing the seed in ground. I live in southeast Alabama so it worked out so good with our hot and humid weather. Just hope my Echinacea does as good as my Zinnia's have..My friend got bit by a Black Widow earlier in the spring. Had to drive to Pell City from Anniston/Oxford to get shots. It was really bad, so yes be careful.
I love echinacea. We had some to reseed in the garden. I pull the plants and potted it up in a separate container to grow on and it is already taking off. I am so sorry to hear about your friend. A black widow....ouch. I try my best to protect myself in the garden. Stay safe and cool and thank you so much for watching!
brilliant..👏 👏 👏
Thank you for watching!
Love echinacea plants! Just about to plant mine indoors to get ready for spring.
They are so beautiful and the bees love them. Thank you so much for watching!
@@auyannaplants No problem. I just started my RUclips plant channel and was searching for a youtuber with a good video on echinacea seeds to subscribe to. Yours was pretty informative.
Nice ! I’ve been lazy with mine - I crumble the dried head n sprinkle in garden ….. but I only have a few orange , red n white pedal echinacea so those I’m going to do the way your shared ! I have so many purple that I just did the lazy way past 3 years … but they have multiplied 😊
I love when you can get seeds from existing plants , brown eye Susan’s ? I’m going to try that …. Only have a few in my garden that I purchased this year n I’d love to have more ❤ thanks again !
Yes I love when the plants keep giving seeds and making new ones. I am so happy that yours have multiplied what a great gift. Thank you so much for watching!
I do save seeds.!😍 i agree its like gold to me too. I save “roses of Sharon” bush which is one of my favorite flower in my garden/yard. Plus my hummingbirds love the roses of sharon and the flowers are breathtaking. Im excited to try extracting the seeds off my breathtaking cone flowers as well as my butterfly bushes. I loove my perinals and i will save every seed off each one that will give them.my one rose of sharon bush is soo large it has grown up my entire house to the second floor onto the siding. Its soo beautiful and i started that one from seed.. thank you so much for such a insightful video with great advice.. god bless you and your entire family 🙏🏻❤️🥰
That is amazing and the "rose of sharon" is such a beautiful flower. Thank you so much for watching and thank you for your support.
Mrs. NG just saved some purple coneflower from my parent's house and is going to make some herbal tea with them. Now we are going to save the seeds and plant them out in the front yard. We have saved some of our brassicas seeds from last year like kohlrabi and kale.
thanks for sharing.
Thanks so much for watching. That is awesome. I definitely want to try the echinacea tea. I know the coneflowers will be beautiful, I absolutely have fallen in love with them. Good luck with the brassicas. I saved some bok choy seeds from last season. I am beginning to start my fall garden.
@@auyannaplants we are starting ours as well
Thanks for the video! I'm in Memphis so I think I may be OK to sow some in the fall for blooming next summer.
You are so welcome. Yes you definitely should be able to sow in the fall. It gets way colder for you in Memphis than here in GA and they need that cold period. Thank you so much for watching!
Loved your video. I save all kinds of seeds. Vegetable and flower. My Lemon Balm this year was absolutely gorgeous. I've had a hard time growing the coneflowers but this year I found some plants at Walmart and bought a couple. They are doing fantastic. I am trying to grow all my herbs that I love
Thank you so much. Each season I try to sacrifice one plant and save these seeds. I am so glad that you were able to find coneflowers. I know they will be beautiful and lemon balm is one of my favorites especially to use in tea. Thank you so much for watching!
I grow mine from seed ( winter sowed ) last year and now they’re very healthy and waiting for the bloom.
Yes! I know they will be beautiful. It is such a lovely flower. Thank you so much for watching!
Very welcome. I love your garden!❤️
I've been saving all sorts of seeds and lots of them. I had been eyeing the Cheyenne Spirit at Home Depot but it was $21.00 and I don't usually spend that much but I loved all of the bright, beautiful colors. I splurged and bought one and it's gorgeous! I decided to buy it because it will be back every year, plus I can save seeds and plant them in more spots. At $21.00, saving the seeds does = a gold mine! I've also got huge, beautiful giant Zinnias which I'm saving the seeds from as well as small marigolds, small Zinnias, giant marigolds, and one of my favorites...celosia! I've just recently learned about where seeds are on some flowers. Some are easy like Zinnias and marigolds but celosia, and petunias are trickier, but after learning about seed pods, I've a ton of petunia seeds as well! 🙂
I love the Cheyenne Spirit coneflower it is so beautiful. I love buying perennials so that I can have them longer. I love that you are saving seeds......YES once you figure out which one of the seeds you will have to buy less and less flowers and just continue to replant what you save. Saving seeds are great because those seeds will be more acclimated to your climate. Thank you so much for watching!
Great video.!! Cone flowers are one of my favorites and one of my newest additions to my garden tailored for hummingbirds.. my humming birds are one of gods creatures i look forward to every year...🥰❤️ Much love from Massachusetts.. god bless you and ur entire family. I made sure to subscribe.. watch out for that bee..😹😹
Thank you so much and thank you for watching. Your are going to love the conflowers for years to come.
Great video I only save vegetables seeds for the moment but I have saved flower seeds in the past selection of quality seeds will give you superior plants in most cases tfs!!!
Thanks so much for watching. Vegetables seeds are great to save. I saved some bok choy seeds from last year so I am almost ready to start them indoors.😀
I’m definitely going to be doing this, thank you!
yes and we had volunteers to pop up in the garden this season too. Thanks for watching!
I usually buy echinacea seeds, I don’t know why I’ve have never tried to save them yet. I like to leave them for the birds but I’m sure they’re not eating them all. 🤣
I do leave some for the birds in the fall but you definitely have to try it. We also get volunteer plants in the garden as well.
i purchased two coneflowers from homedepot real cheap half price because theyre just letting them die outside '(really sad) and now I have my own seeds!!!! thanks. i plan on building a garden for monarchs. I had one monarch come by all summer every day. fluttering around my head. just one. plant milkweed please for the monarchs. they can only lay their eggs on those specific leaves. there are many varieties of milkweed and its a beautiful perennial. also zinnias are an awesome flower to grow. thanks. again.
I totally understand. I buy alot of my plants on clearance and most of the time they come back and are beautiful. I had so many butterflies visit the garden this year. I was truly amazed. I love zinnias but I will definitely look into the milkweed😀
@Nathan Anderson Thanks so much for watching! I will check out Prairie Moon Nursery but the purple cone flowers in my garden I got from Johnny Seeds and started them from seed. I really love them and they attract so many bees and butterflies.
Thank you. You explained this process so well. 😊🙏🏻
My pleasure 😊Thank you so much for watching. Now you can grow lots of coneflowers
Oooohhh those brown recluse😶😶😶 I was bit and was unconscious, (from my own overwhelming fear) but was brought right to the hospital after the itchy stage and I realized it wasn't a chigger bite. Within the next couple hrs that strange brown line began appearing. Luckily, I was already in route to the hospital. Crazy, 3 glasses of ice water couldn't keep me awake on the ride to Conway Medical.
The ice water probably felt too good in the still hot summer night. I miss South Carolina, it's laid back feel, the almost stuck in time feel to what seemed like many towns I visited- besides Myrtle Beach, of course.
My neighbors (you know I mean the whole road, they'd INSIST on a weekly gathering and though I felt a bit guilty for being so far away from my own family, they ALL, incuding those at Conway Baptist Church, made it an absolute MUST that I accept to be welcomed as a part of their family. For the few years I was there. (With time each yr to visit home, of course)
The time in between (I could throw a rock and hit Border Patrol- Upstate- not 5 mins outside NYC/Albany. I work in Albany, so I'm 2&1/2 hrs north) going from NY and SC, took some adjustments each time.
What I'll never forget about the people I met, those who touched my heart and the truly genuine, authentic way everyone treats everyone.
After living there for 3 yrs, the word, "Southern Hospitality", have an entirely different meaning- to me, an intuitive empath anyways.
I have sub'd to your channel.
Thank you for sharing how to collect these seeds, as I also hate wearing gloves (in the garden for anything too- it's the feels) but I feel pulling from the top first, may illeviate some of the poking. Lol.
Thank you so much! I am so glad that you are OK from the spider bites. It is crazy. I appreciate you subscribing and we actually had some volunteer echinacea plants pop up this year that I dug up and replanted in other parts of the garden. Thanks for watching!
I save sun flower, nasturtium and cosmo seeds.
Yes! I love those flowers. They bring so much joy to any garden.
Hello! The Bee was not a bee it was a Hover fly... The sometimes get mistaken for bees very harmless .Stay safe ! .. ;)
Thanks for letting me know and I am so glad they are harmless. Thank you so much for watching!
@@auyannaplants Not a hoverfly, it was actually a robberfly. (Pause at 3:06)
Also generally harmless to people (though they are capable of biting in self defense) and a very convenient predator to have in your garden.
Thanks for this video. I have recently retired and started a lot of gardening and am learning as I go along. I adore echinacea flowers as they are so colourful, especially the vivid orange variety Kismet. They are very expensive to buy as plants here, about $15 ! So I am going to try to grow from seed. At what time of year would you sow the seed ? The UK is zone 9. Thank you 😊
Thank you so much for watching!
Your video was so helpful! I have 5 of these plants in my garden and been wanting to get more of them for next year in different places in my yard. So happy to subscribe to your channel to learn more! 🌿🌞🌱🦋 marigolds next!
Yay! Love hearing this. We had volunteer coneflowers to pop up in the garden and I love it. Welcome to Southern Entertaining and we are so glad that you are hear. Make sure you watch our video on saving marigold seeds as well. I love saving these seeds and planting them in the garden each year. Thank you so much for watching!
@@auyannaplants yes I did watch it plus getting basil seeds too. Both so easy for me to follow😃
Thank you so much! This is great information!
You are so welcome! Thank you so much for watching!
thank you for posting
You are so welcome. I hope you found the video helpful and thank you so much for watching!
Thanks for the advice about seed. Can you tell me if I should cut the plant down after flowering to winter them over? I am in coastal NC in zone 9
I normally let the plant die back naturally and leave some of the flower heads for the birds over the winter. Once I start to see the new growth in the spring I then go in and clean off any old debris around the plant to make way for the new growth. I hope this helps and thank you so much for watching!
Great video thank you!
Thank you so much and thank you for watching!
Great video, thank you... Yes the roots have more medicinal power, but a person should wait a few years & so the more roots the better... I've learned that the whole plants is eatable, but of course I would not eat the top middle part, a bit painful, but wonder IF a person could use that part, after getting the seeds out 1st, then I wonder IF the pointy middle of the top & add when making Tinctures with 80 or above of vodka alcohol as well as other choices of alcohol, great for soups, salads & so much more... I watched a video where this man even used the stock of this awesome medicinal plant to add to his tincture... First time growing some Echinacea, living in an apartment, so not sure IF I can grow them in a 5 gallon pot, anyone know please? 😘 🌹🌈💞🎵🌷🌼🌺💖😆👏👍💫🌟✌ 💛 ☘️

Thank you so much for sharing this. I definitely want to grow more echinacea for its many benefits plus it is beautiful in the garden and the bees love it. I am pretty sure you can grow it in a pot. It may not get as big if grown in the ground but you should be able to grow it still. Thank you so much for watching!
@@auyannaplants Also attracts butterflies as well as the bees... I am starting this post all over again, grrr, for some reason my google or something shut everything down, I had opened & more importantly, I lOsT all I typed & was going to click on "REPLY", but was impossible/to lAtE, so caring & sharing again & yes, this will be another novel, as well as "this is what I do" yackity yack, but worth the reading, I believe, but each to their own...

I will be caring & sharing only some medicinal plants that I need for myself as well as others in need... As it should be, especially through these tRyInG times with COVID-19...

@@auyannaplants Butterflies love them as well on some of these medicinal flowers/plants that I've got Echinacea with seeds, I got 2 packets. I got 1 packet of Catnip & already popping up, but a little leggy, so I added more healthy soil around them & added the rest of the packet of seeds & so my cats & I can have enough of the catnip as well as for myself, as cat nip has medicinal value, can drink in tea... Helps with pains etc.! In time, as I live in the north & to early as it's still too cold outside... I will be trying to grow some medicinal & so beautiful "Love-Lies-Bleeding "Amaranthus Caudatus & I will have lots of seeds to grow many more & mAyBe I can find an organization, where people care & share & trade seeds, we will see in time... Also, will grow some "Chamomile, German Matricaria recutita", plus in hopes I'm able to grow some "Pansy Swiss Giants Blend", "Viola wittrockiana"... But for my chronic conditions & age, wanting to try to grow some "Ashwagandha" for pain etc.... Interested in growing a ton of "Ginseng" & some "Marshmallow"... When & IF I can ever move out of apartment living, I want to grow some "Black Elderberry", "Blue Berries", "Honey Suckle" & or "Jasmine", as well as different colors of "Roses", so many colors, even a beautiful black rose, "Calendula", "Amaranth" "Valerian", "Mint" etc... Even though I am told I can't eat mint, I can still use for DIY projects for hair & body, but I will see, cause at this time I only have a 1 raised bed that I'm blessed with & 2 buckets & 2, 5 gallon cloth plant holding pots, but it's a start, just wish I had help, but I will push myself as much as possible, wink, smiles... At this time, I'm using inside my apartment, a light bulb for plants to help my "Nepeta Cataria Catnip", even though a heating pad & a setup with a bigger LED light set up would be better, but I do what is possible, as possible can get lol, wink... Always do your research & talk with your Dr. to be sure there are NO issues with medications etc... I'm trying to get off of all my poisoness pharma medications, as they make me feel worse, just not sure on "HOW" to do this without to many outstanding issues or concerns, but is what it is & I move on in the best possible ways, just like to many others through these tRyInG times...

Olá. Obrigado pelo vídeo. Mas como plantar equinaceas a partir da semente?
Compramos las semillas y las comenzamos adentro y una vez que estaba lo suficientemente caliente las endurecimos y las plantamos afuera. Gracias por ver
@@auyannaplants Muito obrigado.
U trim the lower fan leafs? I have one in plant and like the bottom of stem has a bunch of elephant ear type fan leafs ive been trimming but idk if im hurting plant or not i want a nice yield have 4 chutes so far 1st grow any help is appreciated

Thank you so much for watching!
My biggest echinacia plant has a lot of drying seed heads this time of the year. A couple of those seeds heads seem to be growing a sort of green fuzz; I let it go for a couple weeks and the green fuzz began looking like. tiny plants, dozens of them... I figured the seeds had began to germinate "on the plant," what, with all the rain, and all, they felt comfortable enough to grow. So, last year I cut off a few seedheads and stuck them in the ground, thinking the little plants had a good head start over the seeds. Well, they died (i did water them.) I was wondering if you had any thoughts on how to make them root, because I'd like to salvage this year's crop. Thank you for any light you might shed on my little problem.
I have heard of this happening before. Depending on what zone you are in, fall is a great time to divide perennials like the coneflower if it is big enough. Hope this helps and thank you so much for watching!
Great video! I have some seeds from old dead flowers. Should I plant them in October or March/April? I’m in the east coast .. I’m not sure when is the best time like before winter or the spring... and also how long before they germinate and I see Flowers? Thanks so much!
Thank you so much for watching. Since we don't get a "true" winter here, we place our seeds in the freezer for about 4-6 weeks and then planted them in the garden late winter. I hope this helps and again thank you so much for watching!
I started saving seeds 3vyrs ago. I have great luck with marigolds and zinnias but my saved echinacea seeds i cannot get germinated. I'm wondering if it's because mine is a hybrid? Great video, I'm a year late but you just popped up in my feed.
We have had volunteers to pop up on our pathway and I would dig them up and pot them. Depending on your zone you may want to put them in the freezer for a couple of months and then try replanting them. I have had to do this because we have a very mild winter. Thank you so much for watching!
How long to wait from time of picking to tearing off spikes and collecting the seeds? Dry but not dead??
When they are completely brown and dry. No sign or moisture in them. I hope this helps and thank you for watching!
The Bee was shy, didn't want to be on camera! 😂 I love coneflowers!
Coneflowers have definitely become one of my favorite flowers and I love how the bees love them. Thank you so much for watching!
Hello I am collecting Zinnia, Cosmo and lavender seeds!! Do you know if you have to put echinacea seeds in the fridge for a month prior to planting?
Yes I love saving seeds. I actually put my echinacea seeds in the freezer to give them that "cold" period because we have very mild winters. Thank you so much for watching!
I collected wild echinacea in early June in SETX area and dried it. I'm saving the pedals and leaves for tea. I'm going to try to see if there are seeds in the seed heads, but according to other videos, I may have picked it too early. Those seed heads are prickly! Do you collect the seed throughout the blooming season or only near the fall?
By the way, I air dried the flowers. I didn't dehydrate with heat.
I wait until the fall until everything is dried on the plant. Thank you so much for watching!
lol, video doesn't show where the seeds came from. at the crucial moment, let's switch to the marigolds!
Thank you so much for watching!
You live in zone 8 I live in zone 5 , can’t we just put them in the ground or do you put it in those little containers, I did that and I have like 10 seeds in one little seed starters, they are so huge but beautiful but the first year it doesn’t give flowers, I can imagine next year
yes I am sure you can just plant yours in the ground because it gets that cold period that it needs in zone 5. I normally have to put them in the freezer and then plant. I love them. not too many flowers starting out but each year we get more and more flowers. Thanks for watching
@@auyannaplants , ty , I love them too, lol just bought all different colors and some are turning black and I can’t remember which colors they were, so I am going to put it in the ground and see what happens, I hope I don’t have all the same colors planted in the same spot but thank you for your great video
How long do the blooms stay on the plant or can we just save the flower after cutting and will seeds still be on them?
The blooms that have dried up will stay on until you cut them. If you leave them on they will eventually begin to drop seeds. We had some volunteers this year from the ones that I did not catch in time. Once they got big enough, I dug them up and put them in another spot. Thank you so much for watching!
When do you cut the flower off the plant? Do you have to wait until it is completely dried and brown but still attached to the plant? Or can you cut it off sooner, like when the petals start to wilt but the stem is still green?
I wait until they are completely dried on the stalk and cut them off. I hope this helps and thank you so much for watching!
They looks nice over the snow too...
I just collected echinacea seeds last month, can start to
plant the seeds this fall ? Thanks
It depends on your zone. I have to cold stratify my coneflower seeds. Because we do not have a cold winter here in coastal GA. I put my coneflower seeds in the freezer to simulate winter and then I plant them. I hope this helps and thank you so much for watching!
@@auyannaplants Thanks for that info because I keep my echinacea seeds (all of my seeds) in the refrigerator, and I'm in 7b borderline 8a so I'm definitely going to try it😊👍
When you start them indoors do you start them in the fall or late winter?
Thanks so much for watching! I started these particular ones in late winter around January and when it got warm enough I moved them to the garden.
In which country do you stay? Im from Tanzania i would like to obtain echinacea seeds, is it possible to send me
Thank you so much for watching! We are in the US and unfortunately I am unable to send seeds to Tanzania. I apologize but I wish you all the luck in finding some. Once you have one plant you can continue to collect the seeds.
You talk way too much before you get to the point.
Thanks so much for watching!😀
brilliant..👏 👏 👏
Thank you so much for watching.
