Pull or clip the seed heads from the plant, holding a bowl or paper bag underneath (if you're saving more than one variety, mark the container to avoid mix-ups). Indoors, open the seed heads over newspaper, discarding the chaff (the seed coverings and other debris). Let the seeds dry on the newspaper in a cool, well-ventilated space for two to three weeks. (We've sometimes skipped this step, and most of our seeds sprouted anyway.)





Meanwhile, decorate your envelopes with photographs of the mature flowers, noting the flower's name and the year grown. Pour in the seeds, seal the envelopes and place them in a plastic container with a lid. Store your seeds in a cool, dry place like your refrigerator or the basement.
Reply:The seeds can simply be picked up off the ground. I have had some that I saved for 5 years in a plastic bag and they still grew when I planted them. They actually re-seed themselves very well and you'll have a bunch coming up around your plant without having to re-seed.
Reply:My mother has morning glory all over her yard. We help her "harvest the seeds" then throw them away because the vine has a tendency to take over everything!!!! And they attract bees.....





Trust me, you don't need to do anything to the plant. The seeds will fall off and it will reseed itself.
Reply:Morning glory seeds contain alkaloids and are very poisonous. The seeds form when the flower falls off. They're will be a small bulb on the flower stem with 6 -8 seeds in it.
Reply:When the flowers turn brown and dry up then pick the dried flower heads and put them in an envelope that you can seal . I then put the sealed envelope in a ziploc bag and put it in a nice cool dry area until spring.
Reply:The fridge is the best place to store your seeds. They need to be soaked


in a paper towel for a day or two before you plant them. I have had great


success with harvesting and replanting. It is a good way to save money


and it feels good to give Mother Nature a helping hand.
Reply:I'd tell you but first I want to know what you're using these seeds for. I suspect you're up to no good if you're wanting to harvest morning glory seeds.
