That’s a good idea for most seeds that stay on the plant naturally. There are factors like birds,weather and nasty var-mits.
If the seeds of this plant fall i put white paper plates under the pods to catch some of the seeds. Some plants I cut a hole in the center of the plate then a slice to the hole and place that around the stem/trunk. It doesn’t catch all of the seeds but, many and you can see them well on that white background….or you could just tie a small paper bag with maybe a rubber band around each seed heads/pod for when they crack open.
Another technique I use is I will pull up the entire plant and put it upside down in a paper grocery bag. That gets all the seeds and allows them to dry naturally on the plant.
