Online, it’s difficult to tell if your seeds were ripened, but this is usually indicated by a color change (from green to brown, black, or red). Seeds should be collected as soon as the seedheads ripen but before they open. Seed harvested while immature will not germinate. Then you lay out to dry in the sun. Once you store, be sure to put dry seeds in paper envelopes and into an airtight container, perhaps with silica gel or a desiccant, to ensure there’s no extra moisture to rot the seeds. We hope this is helpful!
