How do I collect Morning Glory seeds?

I need to get the seeds from my morning glory plants but I do not know how or what the seed pods look like.

How do I collect Morning Glory seeds?
Morning Glories won't start to seed until late Aug. - Sept. and they seed everywhere. Wherever there was a flower you will find a seed pod they look like small basketballs about the size to the eraser end of a pencil. Let them dry on the stem and then you can pick them. Inside the pod are all the seeds you can either leave them or break them open I don't think it really matters. You can also leave it till the spring when all the growth has died off before picking the pods. Hope this helps
Reply:you buy it from a salesman
Reply:Morning glory seedpods don't usually develop until early fall. Look at this site http://www.craftygardener.ca/infoglory.h... for pictures of seedpods and seeds.





I plant morning glories all over my property and last fall I collected a gallon jar of seeds. Morning glories will also self-seed (you will discover this next spring!).
Reply:You will see little brown/black berry like seeds after the vines die and winter sets in. You have to keep the ugly vines until then. Sorry 'bout that. :o)





I have one vine I will be collectiong from this fall too.
