Hi... I had that happen to me also a wwwwwhile back. They might work if you do not take them out of the seed case, and just let them be till they turn brown. Do the same if you took the total seed case and did not take the seeds out. If they are really green, or white, you most likely will not be able to do anything with them.

Hollyhock's seed case will start to dry out and turn light tan. You will see the edges of the case start to split. Watch it and when you see a good split you can clip off the case. On the other hand if you know there is a storm coming, like a hard rain, I do out and take off the seed pods (cases), and let they dry in a dry container, not plastic. They will dry and pop. Make sure you do not do this if you can peek inside and see the seeds are not very dark brown.

You can also plant them now and they will come up. If they do come up you will also have a head start on next year.
You have some time before you have to worry about winter. I just realized you are in Zone 8. That is very warm is it not?
No snow right? Just put them in planting stuff and see if them come up, if not.......

Send me a SSAE and I can send you some pink ones. I sell a lot of them on a website and can either let you have some of my extra or exchange seeds if you want.
