collecting Joe-Pye Weed seeds?

Damascus, MD(Zone 7a)

I have this plant in my garden (many thanks to those who helped to id it), and would like to grow more from seeds. Can anybody please tell me how to collect its seeds? Do they stay on the plant until they are dry for collection? Or do they drop off the plant at some point before I get a chance to collect them? Thank you.

I have never had luck growing this plant but sure wish I could.
Here is a link that may help you on harvesting the seeds.
Your plant is very pretty.

This plant is a volunteer in my garden. I can get Joe-Pye Weed seeds from Park Seed. However, the plants shown in the picture they have online look slightly different from my plant. Mine is bushier, and theirs are less so. Maybe mine is of a different variety.

Thank you very much for the link. I am an enthusiastic new gardener, and want to try to grow everything :-)
