Here's an updated view of bachelor's button (a.k.a. cornflower) and cilantro (a.k.a. coriander), how their flowers and seeds look at different stages of development, and how to collect their seeds. This time I have several different colors of bachelor's buttons in bloom, and a little garden buddy hanging out with me. =)
These plants make beautiful spring flowers that many different pollinators enjoy and they reseed themselves pretty well. Some of the plants grew from seeds that fell last year and we planted some in late fall. They grew slowly over our mild, zone 8 winter here in the Dallas, TX, area, then really sprung up as the weather warmed! People often pinch off the flowers from herbs to keep them producing leaves, but I love seeing all the pollinators all over them and I really enjoy collecting seeds to plant again instead of having to buy another packet every year! =)
What do you have planted for pollinators? Do you let your herbs go to flower? What seeds do you collect from your garden? I'd love to hear what y'all have growin' on! =)
