how does african daisy seed look like and from where can we obtain the seed from the plant?
Answers:
It`s small rod shaped seed, a couple of millimeters long and dirty dark brown. It is found in the flowerhead. After the flower petals have dropped off and the head is dry and crunchy looking, then it`s ready for harvest. Just cut under the flower head and store till next growing season. When you want seeds, just roll the head around between your fingers a bit with a little pressure and the seeds will separate.
