Emma, I grow these every year, about 60-70 plants for white drifts and foils to my other plants. I have never collected seeds but I might give it a go, altho' I would hate to fail and be left with none at all as they are so important to me.... and so easy to do.
You also have to deadhead to keep the flowering going right up to the end of summer/frosts, so I don't really get chance to collect good seed. Perhaps this year I will sacrifice a couple of plants for seeds... but it will be hard
I planted loads of the seeds and have been giving the plants out all over! I really like the foliage, all feathery. No sign of flowers on any of the plants yet, exciting though. Thanks GW!

Purity are usually bigger than that... keep trying. feed and deadhead and they will grow.
