  Well done, BBS. You’re much more successful with seedlings than I could ever hope to be. This picture shows 4 cuttings.

  Mine have filled the pot nicely; there are three plants in this pot. And I have another pot with the three cuttings I’ve taken.

  This years Red Velour from last years seed. Happy to say the seed is viable and I'll be collecting again at the end of the summer.

  That’s a great display, @Kili. How do you collect seeds? I haven’t seen any seed pods forming yet.

  Hi pitter-patter , to early for seed pods just yet as I keep dead heading to keep them flowering. If you let them go to seed now the flowering period will be shortened. I'll let them keep flowering through to September and then stop deadheading which will allow the flower heads to go to seed then wait till they dry out a bit then grab the seed.

  I never saw a single seed pod on two plants last year.  Am I missing something?

  I never saw a single seed pod last year, either, and didn't deadhead as I thought the old flower heads just fell off.
  

  
  

  Such beautiful displays, everyone. I missed the window this year.   Fingers crossed for 2021.

  Though we have several Red Velour in the garden, for the main display area on the terrace this year I switched to petunia Beautical Caramel and French Vanilla

  Love the colours @BenCotto  We have too much red and pink in the garden, so I think we will add some of the Beautical's to our garden next year.  Did you grow them from seed?
