@@thatclothgirl that's wonderful! The more native plants out there, the better! I have a little lending library too - I will totally do that too! Thanks for the inspiration! Thank you for watching and for the comment! 💚
I got some seeds for these from a friend last spring, who recommended planting in the fall here in PA. I planted them in native soil (if you can call rocks and clay 'soil' !) I had a 2' by 2' area and just threw them on and waited. I swear every one germinated! I planted a row of them elsewhere and all of those germinated as well and were growing nicely. At about 6 or 8" the groundhog found them and ate all but one right down to about 3", no leaves left. But that ONE is ready to bloom! A bit later than the others but looking great. I have some seeds left and will plant them before leaving for FL in the fall. Can't wait to see them in the spring!
Love this story! How nice to have such success with the seeds, but too funny that some of your "crop" was a little buffet for the groundhog! He was probably in heaven!! I did the same thing with my sunflower seedlings this year - I placed out a tray of baby giant sunflowers and a bunny thought that it was a platter set out just for them - oops! I'll be protecting those precious seedlings better next year! I didn't even end up with one flower!!! I'm all about supporting our creatures, but could they be a bit less greedy??! I hope you end up with a lovely collection of obedient plant next spring with lots of flowers, and a few less nibbled off at the knees!! Thanks for watching and for sharing your story! 💚
This is exactly what I needed! Thanks so much for sharing. My obedient plants bloomed so late that they are still pink in bloom and I have a while to wait before they will be ready. From what my friends say, this isn't normal for my area where I live, so it's probably just because they've been in my garden only since the spring of 2023. It's like their bloom time got delayed. Interesting when that happens. Love the video! Thanks for sharing it with us.
I'm so happy it was helpful to you! That's interesting that your flowers are a little late, but all the better to enjoy them for a little longer than expected ☺️ good luck with your harvest! I hope you get lots of seeds this year! 💚
I enjoyed this video. I heard about the obedient plant in my master garden classes. You made it look very easy to get seed from this plant. Love having free plants. Thanks for sharing.
Have you had success growing obedient plant from seed? Share your tips! We'd love to hear!
Thank you! I harvested hundreds of obedient plant seeds this fall. Some for me, and the rest I’ll pop in little envelopes for my Little Library! 🌱

Thanks for your help. I put my seeds on damp paper towels in the refrigerator for 4 weeks and they sprouted nicely
Wonderful!! I hope you get some blooms this season!! 💚
Nice video and great quality too 👍
Thank you so much! I'm definitely trying to improve my camera/editing skills! Thank you for your feedback!
@@TheSuburbanGardenista your camera and editing skills are good. I might learn a thing or two from you for the videos on my channel 😀
You're too kind!! I'm blushing 😁 although I do think you're quite the pro from everything I've seen on your channel so far!
@@TheSuburbanGardenista i like your channel. You have a new sub :)
Woo hoo! Thanks! And same! I look forward to watching more of your creations soon!

Thanks RB! I shared a bunch of seeds this year - hopefully it's as easy as it seems!! Fingers crossed!
Love your garden vidz!🌿🌵 I wrapped up my outdoor gardening for the season! Focusing on indoor gardening until spring 2021.🌱
Lovely! I'm going to sneak in a bit if seeds still, but at least we have houseplants to satisfy our green thumbs until spring!
We don't grow these, I like the colander method for harvest. Quick and easy.
Great! It can definitely be used for other tiny seeds too. Thanks so much for watching! :)
