I keep meaning to buy one of these. I think that they are lovely and attract the insects.

Easy from seed, Toto. Put a few flowers in my Pimms, please.
It's a stunning blue.

Thanks Wagger I'll try both the seeds and the pimms.

If I remember, maybe I can catch you some seeds Toto :) Anybody know the best way to collect them??? This one was self-sown.

Having never grown it I have no idea of how to collect the seeds, but thanks for the thought.

When the flowers have finished blooming dehead them put the heads on a small plate in a airinh cupboard (US closet) when dry the seeds will fall from the head.

Thanks Pride :) Should the flower head be dry before I deadhead it? You seem be very knowlegeable on these subjects... I'm going to collect cleome seeds for Diohio and I see that the seed pods are getting fat. Should I cover them with a bag? Looks as though they will pop and explode everywhere.
