RE: Collecting Seeds from a Thunbergia (Black-Eyed Susan)

After the flowers fall,there will be a litle pocket left on. Just leave it and a seed pod will form. Let the pod dry and the seeds will be inside the pod. http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/showimage/200493/

I have been wondering the same thing. It is the first year I have had these. They kind of took over but they are so pretty. Do you wait till there is a frost? I cannot see any seed on mine.

Seeds are easy to collect from Thunbergia. When the flower drops off, you will see a seed pod remains. Let it turn brown (dry) and they will pop off easily. Split open the pod and remove the black seeds. Store them on a plastic bag in the refrigerator side door till ready to plant.
I don't know about Black Eyed Susan Vines but I used to collect my regular Black Eyed Susan seeds simply by naturally drying the flowers completely and then gently squeeze and roll the seed area with my thumb and forefinger onto a sheet of paper and then funnel them into an envelope. Store in a cool, dry place for planting in the Spring. There were so many seeds that I gave most away to family, friends and neighbors :-)
