Are my coleus seeds ok?

18 years ago

I let my coleus plants go to seed in the fall. I brought the plants into my unheated garage (zone 5) before the first frost. I have left them in the garage and the temps have gotten pretty cold here (below freezing outside but still above freezing in the garage). Do you think the seeds are still ok?

Seeds are rather tougher than the mother plants, almost always. I would say they are fine.

They didn't freeze? Then I think your chances are very good.
