| Beautiful, this is exactly the question I was going to post. Also, I have a huge pale yellow hollyhock that sprung up from a wildflower mix I spread last year. Maggie_berry, are the seeds contained in the little round-ish buds that are left on the stalk? Are those the seed heads? Do I collect them from those? Thanks everyone... great post, maggie_berry! I have some hollyhock seed packets too. So glad to see I am not the only one hoping to sow this late! Jessie |

| Jessie, Those are the seed pods and you'll find quite a lot of seed in one pod. They should just pull right off when they are dried out. Have fun!

| Does echinacea require any special treatment? Will it germinate right from the seed heads? |
