Tropicals & Tender Perennials: Is he dead??, 1 by corgimom

Last summer I moved from middle to northern Mississippi and had to put my "Mr Stinky" in a tub. I still have him there. In spring it sent up the bloom, then produced the seed pod. My problem is that it froze in time at that point - never producing foliage. The tub sat in too much sun and had too little water.

My questions: Is it dead? Can I plant the orange seeds? Are there instructions somewhere (for beginners )on how to grow them from seed? I would hate to lose him as I have had it for several years and it was always a conversation piece. It used to get chest high for me and remain beautiful for a long time.

thanks for any help you can give me on this
