    I have been searching on the internet for mum seeds. But the only ones that I have been able to find are mixed or the daisy type. I am looking for solid colors. I am thinking white, yellow, blue and maybe maroon or the dark rust colored ones. I want to plant them in pots to set on my new retaining wall, which the top is stairstepped. Thank you if you can help!

    I have solid yellow, but not sure where the seeds are exactly I hear they are tiny & not in the usual spot, I am going to look today & if I find some & you want them they are yours for SASE

    Steph, if you can find them, I would surely take them. I want to plant 5 or 6 pots with each pot a different color if I can. Thanks

    Capt. I have some maroon ones just starting to bloom. I don't know where to find the seed, if I can't find them I will just send you some of the plantlets when I divide them next month.

    The seeds have to be somewhere in the flower head. I would think that once the flower head dies off, you could just snip off the whole head into an envelope and as they dried, the seeds would fall out. I willsend a pm to get snail mail address to send a sase. And I would do the same for Dtephinalta too.

    I can send you flower heads if I cant find the seeds also, I have 3 pots full of the yellow (Granma's favorite flower.) a neighbor has lavendar, I can ask her for a few flower heads also if you like, she lets me take cuttings of her Passion vine all the time so I dont think she will mind a few flower heads.
