# How to Harvest Seeds From Grape Hyacinths
Grape hyacinth is native to the Mediterranean, but it is a commonly grown spring bulb in cool climates. It flowers in mid-spring with large globular blooms that look like grapes, although the grape hyacinth is part of the lily family. Grape hyacinth plants are hardy down to U.S. Department of Agriculture hardiness zone 4. The plant will propagate on its own by spreading bulbs underground, but you can collect and sow the seeds as well.

1
Wait for the grape hyacinth to finish blooming in the late spring. Once the flowers fade, they will form seedpods.
-
2
Examine the seedpods when they are brown and dry. If they look like they are ready to split open, you can harvest the seeds.
-
3
Crack open the seed pod with your hands and pour the seeds from the seed pod into a letter-sized envelope.
-
4
Seal the envelope and write what kinds of seeds it contains on the outside of the envelope.
-
5
Store the envelope in a cool, dry place, such as a basement or a garage, until you are ready to sow the seeds.
