I am new to saving seeds, and in the Fall, my Hollyhock seeds didn't look ready (too soft and green) and I was uncertain how to harvest them. Unfortunately, I never got back to them.
Today, in my garden, I have been pulling them off the stalks. They have overwintered high on the stalk in my zone 5 garden. Most have fallen, but some were still in the pod on the stalk. Now I've got them on a paper plate in my kitchen and they look good -- very similar to what I bought from Burpee :)
Does anyone have any idea if these seeds will still be viable? Or should I just throw them away?
I can do the paper towel/baggie test, but that will take a week. This was a beautiful Chaters Double Scarlet and I got a lot of complements. (Hopefully, I will get some plants that have re-seeded on their own as well!)
Thanks for any and all help!
