- 1). Cut the flower stem from the plant at the base once the primrose pods turn brown and dry. The stems bend toward the ground as the seed matures, so examine the ground around the plants for mature pods.
- 2). Place the stems in a brown paper bag, with the pods resting on the bottom of the bag. Set the open bags in a warm, well-ventilated room for two weeks so that the pods can finish drying.
- 3). Hold the pods over a bowl and split them open with your fingernail. Shake the seeds out of the pod and into a bowl.
- 4). Label an envelope with the primrose variety, color and year harvested. Place the seeds inside and seal it.
- 5). Store the envelope in a cool, dry room until you are ready to plant in the spring. Alternately, place the envelope in a jar and store it in the refrigerator.
