Standing plants also store their seeds over the winter. Seeds on the ground get eaten
Some plants need to be intact so that mice and bugs will take the seeds, and spread them.
I have a 1/3 acre native pollinator patch. I usually harvest half and leave half. With the harvest, I spread the patch and other areas of our 2.5 acres. I also spread them around the unkept roadsides near me, in the hope that the pollinators will spread and form more habitat.
