Once the flowers start to die, there will be seed pods underneath. Simply remove these and carefully extract the seeds - probably tiny ones too if they are anything like the Snapdragon ones.

Not sure when you should be planting them though - I suppose it should have been maybe January time if they are developing into decent sized plants now.

They are tiny - I just put them in an envelope for a week or so to dry them out and then sow them in a seed tray. Then transplant the seedlings when big enough. My mum taught me that and she always has masses of pansies.

Thanks for the tip, I always thought I should let the pod ripe on the plants. Now I know I could pick the pod when semi-ripe.

some plants increase by runners,like mint. will take over the garden if not controlled.
others ,like snowdrops,bluebells and lily of the valley spread well too. they are bulb plants.

Can anyone tell me how to take a cutting of lavender and get another plant? Any help would be appreciated!
