Seed pod developing

13 years ago

Linda, Irina,
An AV has developed a bright green seedpod. The pod
appears to have four equal-sized chambers. This is on
an AV I love a lot, so it would be worth the effort to try
to harvest and propagate the seed. I'll hunt through
the threads on seedpods for advice. Basically, if I
recall correctly, the advice is to allow the pod to remain
until it turns brown. Then remove it, let it dry. Open the
pod very carefully then pour the seeds onto wax paper
and sprinkle just a few onto a prepared growing medium,
as instructed. Moisten, dome, wait. Hope. Any unused
seeds I will save. Do they "keep" indefinitely? I've read
there can be hundreds in one ripened pod. The AV has
lots of very large bright blue double blooms that last and
last. It is a Lyon's, might be Simpler Times.
