Does anyone know if the new (ish) Gerbera Garvinea's - will breed true if I allow the seeds to drop on the soil. They are still flowering really well but i worry they won't survive the winter in E Yorks. So should I not deadhead and let the seed fall?

Hi Jem and Lizzy. Why not collect the seeds to sow next Spring. I don't think they would survive a Winter.
If you've been dead heading and no seeds have formed yet, you may have left it a little late
In the sticks near Peterborough
No there are lots of flowers left, ive been taking the dead ones regularly, which are full of seeds, to bring new flowers on, but thought should i be doing this - hence the question
Save them in a paper bag/envelope in a cool, dry place before sowing in Spring then
