Winter Sown Jan 10, 2021 Seed From DnD Seed Swap
NOTE: According to research published by Chicago Bot Garden (https://www.chicagobotanic.org...) this species of Liatris and several others are self-incompatible. You need at least two plants blooming at the same time plants to collect any good seed, and at that, there will still be many infertile seeds. When saving seeds remember that the seed coat is produced even when a fertilized embryo is not present, so seeds may look "normal". To check a seed see if it bends in your fingers, if it does it is empty. Good seed should be solid and not bend once dried.
