I've never given much thought to the seeds that bulb plants generate. Is it worth harvesting them?
Also, I'm particularly wondering about some from my Muscari Aucheri Mount Hood Grape Hyacinth, which the plant files says "Allow pods to dry on plant; break open to collect seeds" AND "N/A: plant does not set seed, flowers are sterile, or plants will not come true from seed." There are seeds on them, but would anyone want seeds that won't generate true daughter plants? Or should I just leave 'em where they are?
So I have a general question about seeds from bulb plants being worthwhile to harvest and sow, and a specific question about seeds from my Mt. Hood muscari.
Thanks in advance for your kind assistance!
