Things You'll Need:
- Chives that are flowering or recently have flowered.
- Small bag
- Cool location to store seeds
-
Step 1
Allow your existing chive plants to blossom and watch for when they start to dry out and lose their color
-
Step 2
If the chive plants are in a windy location or in a place they can be bumped, put a bag over the the flower heads and tighten the opening with a string or rubber band. This will catch the seeds so don't fall away.
-
Step 3
Allow flower heads to completely dry out
-
Step 4
Cut the flower heads off of the plants and put them in a bag that has extra room in it for the flowers to bounce around in it.
-
Step 5
Shake the bag, dislocating all the tiny black seeds out of the flower heads. The seeds will be about the size of a flea, so look for them carefully.
-
Step 6
Store the seeds in a cool and dry location, such as a refrigerator drawer.
