Ivy geranium seeds
 
I got this plant at Loews recently, and all in bloom. As the bloom fades, there
seems to be pods of seeds on a few of the stems that had blooms. I picked them
off, and wonder, does anyone know how to plant them? Do i wait a certain period
or just flop them into soil, as one does with marigold seeds?

they should look like these:

and teh woody part should feel solid.

i've never noticed seed mature on ivy geraniums. (Pelargonium peltatum)
but the common Pelargonium x hortorum (hope that's tth current bot name!) sprouts easily from seed tossed into regular potting
mix.
