What is the best way to store flower seeds I am collecting?

Our Advice:

After cleaning and drying the seeds, place in dry paper packets like bags or small envelopes. Make sure you write the plant name and date of collection on the packet. Place these in a jar or tin with a lid that can be sealed tightly. Store this in a dark, cool, dry, frost free place until you want to sow the seeds next spring.
