How do you know when seed pods are ripe? ...etc.
Posted: Sep 22, 2007 9:45 pm
I have several hostas that have set seed pods for the first time since I've had them, and I've got several questions:
- How will I know when the pods are ripe? They are all very green now (except Great Expectations, which has mainly white pods), and showing no signs of splitting open (should they?).
If I just leave the seed pods in place, will the seeds self-sow in my garden? Don't have much room indoors for growing seedlings over the winter (do I even need much space?).
Could folks share some tips for growing hosta from seed indoors (when one has very limited space), and perhaps post a pic of their set up?
