Hi,
Can anyone explain to me where the seed is for the Malva Zebrina? Or direct me to a site that would show the photo for the seed?
Thanks
Char

The link shows what they look like. The seeds are connected in a ring shape. You may have to rub the seeds between your fingers to separate them.

When the flower dies off, there will be a seed pod that forms where the flower was. Dont pick it off until it turns brown. The seeds will be in a ring around the center of the--I believe its called--calyx.

I grew this plant from seed and it is very weedy. Pulled them all out. The original plant was very nice.

The seed pod is like a miniature hollyhock pod...
