how to collect grass seed?

21 years ago

After searching forums and nurseries for a good ornamental grass to use in my floral bouquets, I was hit with one of life's little ironies. Underneath the bird feeder grew some wonderful grass with gorgeous seed heads and a great upright habit! (We also often get sunflowers in the same spot!) My partner wants to pull it out as soon as the flower season is over because he is afraid it will be invasive. So, I was wondering, what is the best way to gather the seeds? Do I wait until the grass gets dry, or can I bring in some seed heads now and dry them inside? If I can save some seeds then I can plant them in a large pot next year and we will both be happy!

Of course, I could just throw a handful of the bird seed into a pot but one is apt to get all sorts of things growing that way! thanks for your help...
