Hi

Only just found your question. First hand pollinate the flowers with a small clean paint brush by dusting the pollen from one flower to another, this should help to produce seed pods. The seed pods are green approx size of a plumb and the pods hold many seeds. Pick the pod before frosts get it and store in a frost free light airy place. Pods will eventually turn brown and harden this can take time, crack open pods and carefully store seeds.

Take a look at this forum and check out my reply on Nov 22. http://davesgarden.com/forums/t/556925/
Also look at the plant files photo's.

I ended up with so many seeds, I have given them to friends, traded on DG and sold some on Ebay. I have done the same with many of the plants I grew from these seeds.

Hope this helps.

Regards
Sue
