To find/harvest salvia seeds

When flowers are still fresh, seeds are forming. Here you see them, white and immature.

Here's faded a stem with mature seeds. They turn black when mature.

Flowers fade and seeds mature from the bottom of the stem upward. I usually harvest a stem when most seeds are black and ripe, and discard the top portion where a few seeds are still white. Then, dry in a bag in the house. When well dry, shake in a bag or Tupperware container to loosen and collect seeds.
