How to Collect Native Plant Seeds | Anise Hyssop

How to collect native plant seeds from Anise hyssop (video transcript):

I am going to show you how to collect seeds from Hyssop today.

It’s one of the easiest things to do and man, they sure smell good.

So, this is all you have to do for the Hyssop. Just grab the base of the seed head. Pull it straight up, and you end up with a handful of seeds.

I literally just take my little brown envelopes, that I’ve shown you in other videos, and I place them in the envelope.

Just write the name and date on it.

The other thing I do while I’m doing this is I also grab a few and just throw them around the garden. This helps them self-seed.

If you’re looking for information on how to stratify these seeds so that they over winter properly and you have a good result in the spring, look in the comments section. I have step-by-step details.

I’m Patrick, let’s go native.
