Good Morning,
I have not grown from seed or seed pods. I have started from cuttings or it seems to be working at least. I have several cuttings now in a partially shaded area for probably four weeks still green and looking like they are doing well. The piece in water is still there no visible roots yet but it still has flowers. If you rub a blossom between your thumb and finger it will turn purple if it is the medicinal St Johns Wort. It also turns Red in any kind of oil or tincture.
I don't think the seeds of St. Johns wort would really be any different than any other seed. Let them dry on the plant then harvest I would think, I would keep them in the fridge for a while or the freezer then plant. Here is mine.
