Saving cosmos seeds

9 years ago

Any special instructions for saving cosmos seeds? I have collected the seeds as late as possible and let them dry for a few days in the open air. Should they be refrigerated or put in a paper or plastic bag and just left in a drawer until time to plant?

No special requirements vs. any other flower seed storage as long as
they were fully dried. Paper storage is always better than plastic.
Just check out the forum FAQs.
