My fuschia has two deep red seed pods on it. Can I collect the seeds to
grow my own plants next year?

Yes but due to crosspollination they will not be the same plant as what you
have this year.


They may just be ordinary but could be wonderful, you will not make your
fotune as there are so many named Fuchsias but at least the results will
be unique to your garden, or you could simply eat them they have a mild
sweet flavour with a peppery after taste
