I mangaged to snag a few seeds from both my hotpink/red and light pink/blush dinnerplate hibiscus. Seems the blooms are over.

An acorn instead?



Okay ya'll, I'm new at this seed thing so give me a break! Should I cut off the stem on these seeds?

Hi Kennyso,
I was just kidding about the dinnerplate hibiscus seed looking like an acorn. These are actually seeds taken from my dinnerplate hibscus plant.

I just find it a little odd that the seeds are not round. Should I cut the stems off these seeds?

Stephanie, those are the seed pods...break them open to get out the seeds inside. There will be lots and lots of them.

kennyso, hey!
I think my hibiscus are perennials! rather than hardy hibiscus. Would that make a difference in seed size?

TulsaRose,
Hummm, seed pods. I took that pic on macro setting. They appear much larger than they really are. Should I cut open anyway?

tcmers,
Hummm, best way to get them open?

flowering child,
I let mine split open on the plant and cut the pod off before the seeds fall out. I've never actually tried to open the pod.
