Hello,

I would like to have seeds for Peach Coral Bells (if available). I am new to trying to load pictures, but I have tried to load an image of what I'm looking for.

The tall shoots are the stems with flowers on them. On most flowering plants the seeds are formed as or after the flowers fade and leave. Right where each flower is.
I don't know much about coral bell (huechera) seeds. I think they are mostly propagated by dividing the root ball.

In my town they have the Coral Bells at Lowes but not the Georgia Peach variety. I was able to find them but they were so expensive (close to $100.00 for 6 plants) that I decided to try to save the seeds to start my own...nothing ventured, nothing gained. LoL I haven't harvested alot of seeds before but this year I would like to try. Is there any website site that offers specific instructions on harvesting seeds for various flowers/plants?

Thank you very much! I have been able to find the Coral Bells but not the Georgia Peach variety inexpensive. I was able to purchase some of the plants and I tried to get seeds from the plants I have. I hope it works!!!!
