- This is part 3 in a series of videos where I show you how to harvest your own annual and perennial flower seeds. Impatiens seeds can be tricky for many people to collect, which is why I show you how I do it with ease. This winter, I will show you how I plant these seeds indoors under grow lights and then in the spring I will show you how I harden them off outdoors before planting them. Collecting flower seeds and propagating plants is easy and fun!

I bought some at a box store for the first time, and it turned out to be one of my favorites. You totally answered my question about seed saving thanks
You are so welcome! Happy seed collecting, friend! 💐
So glad you posted this. Have seen others but this is the best I've seen yet.
Thanks so much, Steph! I can't wait to start my Impatiens seeds indoors this winter! ♥🌺
I just collected some Marigold seeds this week for the first time ever. I should have been doing it all these years - I hadn’t really known how easy it really was to collect them….
That is so wonderful! I love that Marigold seeds are so large and easy to collect. Will you try collecting the seeds from other flowers as well? It's so much fun to do!
Thanks so much for this video! This year I planted collected lupine, zinnia, rose mallow, and aloha blue. I’ve also done foxglove, too. I really want to collect impatiens this year. Now I know how! 😊
Hi Sara! You will love having so many Impatiens after you have collected the seeds from the plant. I'm excited with how many Impatiens plants I was able to grow from seed this year! 🌺😊
I have collected seeds before, dahlias, marigolds, and now I plan to collect impatien seeds this coming fall. Like you, I have lots of shade and I love the colours of the impatiens. What I don't like are the rising prices for seeds from suppliers, ie: what use to be 3.50 for 50 Imara seeds is now 3.50 for 8 seeds. Last fall just before a killer frost, I collected cuttings from Solarscape New Guinea impatiens which is an interspecific hybrid impatien, placed them in water on a south east facing window and to my surprise they rooted, AND they grew in pots AND with no grow lights! Thank you for posting this video... I was looking for impatiens seeds in their flowers, lol, now I know better. Zone 5B.
I agree with you that the price of seeds (and even plants) is rising. I love collecting the seeds from my own flowers and vegetables. I rooted New Guinea Impatiens cuttings a number of years ago but I'll have to try it again this year. I love that plant! Definitely be on the lookout for those Impatiens seeds. Collect them carefully in your fist before they pop and go all over the place. Lol. 🌺😊
Oh nice! You’re in New Hampshire! Me too! I grew impatients for the first time this year, and I didn’t know how to keep the seeds, now I know! Thank you!
Hi Corine! Wonderful! It's amazing how many seeds come out of just one Impatiens seedpod! ♥🌺
Yours are gorgeous, thanks for the tips. 😊
Thank you! I can't wait to start my seeds indoors. 🌺
Thank you for this great video!
I'm so glad you liked it! ♥🌻
Excellent explanation! Thanks!
Thank you so much! I can't wait to grow a ton of Impatiens for next year! ♥🌺
Impatiens are my favorite! I’m collecting geranium and vinca seeds along with the super fantastic variety tomatoes.
That sounds fantastic!
I save the calendula seed too I make tea and saves out of the flowers. I grow a lot of them so half for seed half for herbs. thanks for the video.
The calendula tea sounds delicious! Thanks for commenting. ♥🌻
Vita I am collecting seeds from my garden too. I'm collecting black-eyed susans, purple cone flowers, indigo, and galardia . I'm on my way outside after this comment to check to see if I have any seed pods on my Impatiens. Thank you for showing me how to harvest them! They will be my only annuals if I'm successful. I live in Oklahoma zone 7b. What zone are you in?
Hi Mary. Thank you for your comment. Please let me know if you find ay Impatiens seed pods. If you don't, try looking again after 1 week. Will you be sprinkling your perennial seeds on the ground, sowing them indoors, sowing them using the winter sowing method, or something else? I live in New Hampshire zone 5b. ♥🌻
Great video! Will the the pods with white seeds eventually turn brown if left alone?
Thanks, Jeff! I would venture to guess no. As a general rule, it's best to let seeds fully ripen in their pods before harvesting. 😊🌻
@@budgetgardeningvita yes, that was what I meant. Will all white seeds ripen if the pod is left alone?
@@jeffladd1146 Sorry. Yes, they will eventually ripen on the pod if left alone. Also, many times, you can see from the outside of the pod that the seeds inside are turning a brown color. I hope that helps. 🙂It's so much fun collecting flower seeds this time of year!
I guess this explains why I can’t find any seed pods on the impatiens I bought from a nursery this year, they’re probably sterile
I planted my Impatiens a bit late this year so they are just barely starting to produce seedpods for me. It could be that your plants are sterile or that they are late in producing seedpods. I suggest that you checking just in case. ☺
@@budgetgardeningvita I’ll keep checking, I’m in 6B so still have a little more time
How to tell if the pods are ready to get seeds from? I have balsamic impatiens and they have many pods but I'm getting very few brown seeds. Should I wait a few more days?
Hi Dianna. I have grown Balsam Impatiens and collected seeds from them in the past. You should be able to see the brown seeds through the seedpod's skin. Also, when you barely squeeze on the seedpod, the seeds should release very quickly without much force. I think you are correct in that you should just give it more time. ♥🌺
Thank you for replying. The pods are not yellow like regular impatiens pods, they are medium green and fuzzy. Some are very large but when I opened several, there were several white/light or tan seeds and a few brown ones. Do you know if the they will mature if put under a light? Sorry, first time planting this variety of impatiens, which I started from seeds I bought. Beautiful flowers
I would wait a bit longer, when the pods are more of a pale green color. I doubt they will mature if collected when white or tan color. You really want to collect them when they are a dark brown color. How many plants do you have? They really are beautiful flowers.
@@budgetgardeningvita I planted many seeds and ended up with about 15 plants. They are beautiful and several grew to about 2 & 1/3 feet tall. They are finicky, need warmth but in a semi shaded way, to mature. Full sun wilts them fast. Pretty bug resistant to. Right now I have about 8 plants left two still flowering with many pods.
What about New Guinea... are they hare to collect?
Such a great question! Last year, I tried so hard to collect the seeds from a New Guinea Impatiens plant. I think I may have been able to collect some seeds, but it wasn't easy! I will try to sow them this week and will make an update video if my seeds germinate. Fingers crossed. 🤞🏼😊
Good luck! That would be great.@@budgetgardeningvita
