Yes, treat them like seeds ,sow now and they start growing in Spring. Take about 3 years to reach flowering size. Thanks owdboggy, I'll give them a go and see what happens. I can be patient sometimes.  |

OK I have quoted the original pic - here are two pics of the Knautia in my garden - I really am not sure if the other is Knautia or not..   Now for something else - what is this that is all over one corner suddenly please - it's not Aconite as far as I know??!!  |

Rosefriend, it does look like a little Euphorbia. If you like it then keep it, you can always pull up seedlings if they arrive where you don't want them.

Thanks everyone - I am going to get it out of the huge tub and plant it up - looking forward to seeing what it actually is - it seems so similar to a few things..

theinsidegardener you should post some pics of those twiggy things in the pots.... Rosefriend, I have several things growing in pots for just that reason. Good idea.

Can someone tell me what this lovely plant is next to my dog ?  Theyre everywhere in our favourite graveyard,, which is actually where Charles Dickens wrote about in Little Dorrit, was the Marchalsea prison. |

Lunaria wendya - commonly know as honesty. Extremely easy to grow from seed. They have those silvery discs after flowering which contains the seeds (so pop back later and you should get some  ) |

The Lunaria now has big oval shaped pods on them, they seem very fresh, what do I do ? Tig, are they ready for me to take a few? but i have no idea if they are ready yet or not? and do I just take out the seeds and sow them or what? sorry i have no idea. |

I would say that the seeds are far too fresh wendya but I have only ever had Lunaria in the garden by chance - I think others ( Tig) will be able to tell you more... |

Wait until the seed pods turn papery then you can collect the seeds.

They will look like paper as OB says, and you can see the seeds inside them - harvest when really dry if you can  |
