Dimorphotheca - African daisy - two types of seeds?

nettasaura
16 years ago

I just found out that dimorphotheca sets two types of seeds on the same seed head. Should I be saving both kinds or are the brown woody ribs sterile? I have only ever seen the round winged seed sold.

Any help would be appreciated.
