salsify

I've been collecting seed heads from plants and drying them.  Anyone know if they will be fertile?

Hi Pete, welcome to A4A... yes they will. You also get much better germination if you sow them straight away...  :)

thanks, saddad - I'll get on with it - they seem to dry out very fast.  I find it to be a very good plant - roots, flowering shoots to eat and the flowers are nice

and the seed heads are very decorative... structural shape. Must get a photo before the wind sends them everywhere...  ;D
