It depends if I'm trying to encourage new plants to take hold in a different place.

Especially with the help of birds and insects.

I let plants scatter their own seed and it seems to work very well.

Scatter then now. Some seeds need to feel the winter chill in order to germinate.

If the seed pods are bursting then doesn't that mean the plant is ready to plant them if you see what I mean so I'd go for it. I'd keep some of the Foxgloves as they're biennials

I'm starting to collect some this years' seeds to add to our small wild flower area. Wondering if I should scatter the seeds now- as would happen in the wild, or wait until next Spring. Seeds collected so far are from some white foxgloves and ox eye daisies.
