This is a pretty little flower that self seeded in one of my tubs.I've included a pic of a seed pod and was wondering if it is ripe to harvest the seeds?
I've grown it for the first time this year. Comes in blue and white as well as pink, with bracts the same colour as the little flowers (which honey bees love).
Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.
Many thanks you guys for your very helpful comments.I've sorted through the seed pods and if anything I might be a little late in harvesting.Some pods had no seed at all but I've collected enough to try sowing in the spring. Though I'm going to have to draw the line somewhere. They did fall out very readily nut
Hollie hock - the seeds are indeed small and oval,slightly flattened,dark grey to black.
