Allow some of your plants to develop flowers and seeds. Wait until the seeds turn brown and the clusters grow heavier. (Plants may need staked to keep seeds high off ground)

Use a paper bag to collect your seed head clippings. Store them in a warm, dry place for a couple weeks. Safely store your dried seeds for next season.
