I had some very pretty common white datura plants in the garden last summer, and in the past I have had some luck with daturas reseeding. So I left the pods on the plants. However, when I uncovered my garden, I noticed the pods had remained intact and the seeds had not fallen out of them. So I cut them open and sprinkled the seeds on the ground recently.
Do you think the seeds would have frozen too much in the pods over the winter, destroying their viability? They would not have been as warm and protected as they would have been had the pods opened and the seeds fallen on the ground for the winter, covered with insulating snow.
What do you think my chances of getting reseeded datura plants is? Maybe some seeds did fall out in the fall. I don't know?
