Gardening Know How Questions & Answers - https://questions.gardeningknowhow.comI would like to gather some seeds from my beautiful hibiscus this year but I am not certain what is seed. Can you describe it for me? When do I harvest it? I can see a small clump of what appears to be seed inside the hull after the bloom falls off. Are these the seeds? Do I dry them and save for next year?

1 Comment To "identify hibiscus seed"

Allow the seed pods to dry or turn brown on the plant and then harvest them by snipping them off and placing the pods in a brown paper bag. The seed pods will usually split open when fully dry and the seeds will spill out into the bag. You can store the bag in a dry, dark and cool location for use next season.
