How Do You Remove Seeds From A Hardy Hibiscus Flower?
With long, slender stems, glossy green leaves and some of the largest flowers of any perennial, the hardy hibiscus is impressive to see. Flower colors range from pure white to yellows, oranges, pinks or reds. Hardy hibiscus can be grown from seeds relatively easily. With some special treatment, you can make sure the seeds you gather are more likely to germinate. Collect seed pods when they turn tan or brown. The pods will be brittle and have a paper outer shell with the multiple seeds inside. Place the seed pods in a paper bag and seal it. Place the bag in a dry, well ventilated area. Allow the seed to continue to ripen over the next few weeks. Place the seed pods in a bowl and break them apart to remove the seeds from the pods and remove any chaff from any seeds, once fully ripened. Separate the seeds and place them in a small container or envelope and label it.
