Do balloon flowers reseed and should they be deadheaded? Can you dry the seed pod and plant in the spring?

Yes, they need to be deadheaded. After snipping off the dead stem, I've left mine in their pots and put them in my storage shed and they come up again the following year.





You can save the seed pods and plant them next Spring. The seeds don't have to be put in a freezer or refrigerator. Store them in an envelope with the rest of your veggie and flower seeds. Just make sure you mark them so you will know what they are next season.

You are Welcome Nancy !! Report It

Reply:They will reseed . You can save seed (in refrigerator or freezer), but take them out of pod , %26amp; store in glassine, or paper envelope . They grow fairly easily, if they've been chilled for at least a week before sowing.
