Which is is which?

I've just put some Ipomeas to soak in water. Some have floated & a few have sunk which are the viable seeds please.

It's the ones that sink that are viable but I'd give them a few hours before throwing the others away.   :)

The ones that float have lower viability but that doesn't necessarily mean they won't germinate & grow into healthy plants.

Don't do what I did and grow them in a greenhouse... they were beautiful but I now have about 3000 seedlings coming up in the beds...  :-[

You could make a fortune selling them ;D ;D ;D. No soil in my greenhouse. I've sown them tonight + some minipop sweetcorn.
