You need to cut off the dead heads Laura to encourage new growth :)

How far down should I cut it? And when should I plant the seeds from the spent flower spike? 🌸

I go as far down the spike as the leaves but if you want to save the seeds you should leave it to dry on the plant, I tend to wait till later in the season to save the seeds from a later flowering spike..

Those are SEED PODS Laura ......you can dry them out and sow them. Each pod will have loads of seeds. When the whole stem goes like this cut it off to encourage new growth :)
