Is there a way to get seeds from my current Impatients or Petunias and use them to grow over the winter? If so, how can I get them? I like the flowers I have this year and would like to try and grow them for next year. Any advice would be appreciated. To hide these ads please register / sign in

Impatiens will not come true from saved seed. They are all hybrids. To keep that strain, you have to overwinter cuttings.

On the petunias-they will get a small seed pod when their flower has dried up. Leaving a small pod with tiny seeds inside. _________________ Petunia
