Peppers have flat, light-coloured seed. It doesn't look like that.

I don't think it could possibly be a vegetable as none that I know have a flower that would bear seeds the same as the seed case shown and that is definitely from a flowerhead.
It is not a fruit seed so that rules out pumpkins, peppers, squashes etc.
I think Merry Tiller who said Dahlia has a good chance of being correct. I have never seen dahlia seeds but imagine they would be shaped like that. :D
Please keep us up to date Biscuit and post a picture when these plants flower. What an interesting thread to start off your introduction to A4A. ;D ;D ;D

I have a fiver on a dahlia! Like MT I recognised it straight away, perhaps the seed company mixed them up! I used to grow them and they are a very distinctive seed-hope you keep them they are such a lovely flower...

Could well be the seed companies fault. I once purcahsed salvias from Thompson Morgans, grew a lovely tray of them, but quickly realised I was growing pelagoniums! Contacted them and apparently there had been a thingy up on that production line, I wasn't alone, and I received the correct seeds, so don't rule that out.

...and I want to see Tiller in his deerstalker and with his politically incorrect pipe too.....time to change your avatar Tils?
Isn't it grand when the seed companies get it wrong.....years ago my family bought a pack of T&M runner bean seeds - planted loads in station against all the poles (they
love
runner beans)........and each bean plant grew and thrived while they went on hol.....and morphed overnight into sprouts (they
hate
sprouts) :o....... ;D ;D ;D
