Sweet peas are easy to collect seed from, just let last few pods at end of season dry on the plant then collect on a dry day and store in paper bags. Night scented stock seed is very small so might be hard, it's cheap to buy anyway. Lupins, if the soil condition is nice and receptive, will often seed themselves, and you find little plants peeking through here and there. Just move them and grow them on a bit. Tutti Frutti are not F1, so colour will be random, but plant habit should be similar.

Hi, if you've bought these seeds as an annual collection, then the lupin will be an annual species, as not all lupinus are perennials, Derek.

No harm collecting your seeds but they may not come true.
