Does anyone know a trick for getting the seeds out of the pods easier? I can hear them "rattle" when I gently shake the stems, but I still have to disect each and every pod to get my seeds...very time consuming not to mention the fact that S. sclarea is not the best smelling plant.
saving Salvia sclarea seeds
I don't have this type but I think all salvia could be harvested pretty much the same way.
On my annual salvia, I wait until most seeds on a stem are mature and black, then break off the entire stem. I trash the top part where the seeds are still white and save the bottom part where seeds are black. I take them into the house and let them dry for weeks (or months until I get around to it). I break up the stems a bit and place them into a large tupperware container with a snap on lid, shake vigorously. The seeds fall out and fall to the bottom.
