Northern Sea Oats

The time was NOW for transplanting the Northern Sea Oats. I have two stands, one is in the sun and very vigorous, the other is under the shade of sugar maple tree. That group is also vigorous, but in a different way, as it's shorter and the leaves are darker because it has more shade. The sun plants were cut to half their size and transplanted with the shade plants. They all have seed heads, and I'm wondering if those we cut today from the sunny location are mature enough to throw down with the transplants once they are dry? (They are yellowing, not yet brown. If I let them dry, would they sprout? Or are they just not mature yet?) If this is a lesson in futility, I'd rather save my energy since I can spread the seed heads of the others around once they are ready. Are the seeds I cut today Trash or Treasure?
