Livingstone daisy seeds

Lincoln, United Kingdom(Zone 8b)

Hi all. Has anyone tried saving seed from these? I have found that once ripe the seed pod needs water to open. Ive tried soaking them over night then pouring into a sieve. Then drying on the heater. It seems a real nightmare. Any other ideas?

Mike, I picked some, and just left them sitting in an uncovered pie plate until they were dried out and crispy brown, and then broke them open for the seed - mine also self-sow in the windowboxes ever year, if I don't deadhead.
