Joanne,
I do not know salpiglossis flowers, so I cannot help you for this particu= lar seed. Last year I collected a lot of seeds. I kept them in paper envelope= s and I planted them this year following the instruction for each type of seeds. = Some were very successful others were not. Why? I cannot tell. I planted lots = of pansies. Since they were hybrids, I got all kinds of colours and shapes. = It was quite fun to see them flowered.
I had some Heliopsis, which were not big enough to be divided yet. So I g= athered some seeds. Since I could not find any instruction on how to plant them, = I looked for some flowers that may be similar. I planted the seeds in the h= ouse in winter and transplanted the little plants in the garden in spring. They f= lowered and are still flowering. I was glad because I thought I had lost my origi= nal plant during the winter.
Have fun with your seeds.
Fran=E7oise.
