| So I have a question I am starting to WS this year, but this fall I want to save as many seeds I can so that I don't have to buy more. do I have to worry weather the flower is a hybrid or not when I am going to save the seed |

| I believe that many hybrids will still produce viable seed, meaning that you can plant the seeds and they will grow. However, the plants that grow from those seeds may not look like the parent plant that produced the seed. Some hybrids may also produce sterile seeds, meaning they won't even grow. Some hybrids won't even produce seeds, which makes it easy. Doesn't help much, does it. Martha |
