Something odd has happened to my Echinacea this year. - The seed heads are germinating.
Sorry about the rubbish photo - it was windy and wouldn't stay still.

My rudbeckia are doing the same.... take the seed head off and plant it all up...you can separate later.

Apparently, its Vivipary https://wild-wild-woods.blogspot.com/202...uting.html (photo of sunflowers)

So all flowers with large, open seedheads. The seedlings are supposed to drop to the ground and grow.
Fascinating

I've had bought tomatoes with the seeds sprouting inside, never home grown ones though. Unfortunately the tomatoes were never good enough to consider propagation. Are the onions that sprout from the seed heads the same?

I’ve had it in shop brought tomatoes as well. I did grow a couple. Not that good. But as JJB said they weren’t that good to start with.
Also had it in sweet peas. I’ve had something else do it. Can’t remember what it was.

In one of the runner bean pods I was saving for seed , when I opened it all four beans inside had grown two inch roots.

I saw a photo today of a teasel head with seedlings amongst the prickles. Seems to be a "thing" this year.
