How long does it take to produce viable seeds?
On Hallson Garden Forum it was mentioned that The Zillis book says 30 days
till seeds are ready to be harvested. Page 44 under Hybridizing. I looked it
up.
Maybe that is a Typo?
But to me 10 weeks seems like a long time.
Are we sure it takes 10 full weeks?
Does freezing really stop the seeds in the pods from maturing? Does the pod
possibly contain some nutriments the seeds can use to continue the process?
IMHO the easiest way to keep hostas maturing the seed would be to pot up the
hostas and bring it inside for what ever time is needed to get the pods to
mature.
