"Run to seed" = Ngừng ra hoa vì đã kết hạt -> Trông tiều tụy, không khỏe và không sức sống vì thiếu quan tâm hay chăm sóc.

Ví dụ
You can dig them up, but you mustn't leave any roots in the ground or they will re-emerge (lại nổi lên). Alternatively, cut the flowers before they run to seed.

Bolting is a term which refers to vegetable crops that run to seed before their time. The plant is essentially rushing in to procreation (sự sinh sôi nảy nở) mode.

Chervil (ngò), parsley (cây mùi) and coriander (cây mùi) are all herbs that have done well for me from an early autumn sowing. Spring sowings of coriander, in particular, tend to run to seed before they know they’re born, but sowing now lends itself not to stretching up and flowering but to hunkering down, to stockiness and bushiness, and this is what we want from our leafy herbs.
