Denise, can you add your climate zone or state to your member page, we don't know what kinds of temperatures your daisy has been exposed to.

In general - the gerbers should be brought in a few weeks before first frost. They are winter hardy in the ground in Zones 9 and 10, will sometimes survive with winter protection in Z8. (they'd have been toast in this Z8 already this year, got too cold last week :))

If it has been exposed to frost but had spent flowers still attached, and those flower/seed heads contained ripe seed, you could still harvest that - use the photos supplied by gardenweed above to help you determine if seed is present.
