Seeds from hybrid annual flowers are not great to conserve or plant in containers for the winter season. Whatever seedling grows and germinates from hybrid flower seeds won't be like the parent plant. Deadhead all your hybrid annual flowers in August and dispose of the seeds.

Perennial flowers need to be separated and transplanted throughout August. When dividing and transplanting, dig down deep enough under the seasonal flower to keep some of the soil undamaged around the roots. Water in your new transplanted seasonal flowers well and mulch them for winter defense. Try not to interrupt the soil around flowers and shrubs that you are not digging up for transplanting so the surface area roots won't be harmed.
