Collecting and Sowing Dayflower (Commelina communis) Seeds

Gardener wants to grow dayflowers from seed — how to collect pods, how deep to plant.

Seed Collection & Sowing

• Wait for pods to turn brown; watch daily to catch before they open.
• Sprinkle seeds on ground; cover very lightly with sand or milled sphagnum moss.
• Water in unless hot/dry — then delay to avoid premature germination and seedling death.
