Lantana Seeds - How??

vic Sep 29, 2001

I have tons of lantana that I know is going to get hit with first frost (which we haven't had yet). Can anyone tell me how to harvest these seeds? Thanks, vic

Do you wait for the black berries to dry out after a frost, or pick and dry them indoors? This is my first year growing them and I'm trying to start some cuttings, but want to save seeds too. Thanks, Lou

dispatcher..Im pulling seed for the first time too. I waited until the seed went from green to black, then dried up...then Im pulling them. They need to dry out a while...then they should be good to put in envelopes. I hope this is right....this is how I will handle them unless I hear different.

Each black seed pod is full of tons of tiny, tiny seeds, just [plant the whole berry, they need to turn black and dry as much as possible on the bush,
