August Is the Time to Collect Seeds

Now is the time to begin to collect seeds or spread the seeds of flowers that you have in your garden. Wild Queens Ann Lace is a hardy biennial. It is lovely growing in the middle or back of a garden bed. You can keep it flowering until frost if you continue to cut the flowers just above the next bud. I always let one go to seed early and then when the seeds turn brown on the star-like flower head I collect them and spread them where I want more Queen Ann’s Lace. If you do this two years in a row it will continue to self-sow every year!
