I have a lovely Talinum "Jewels of Opar" that produces loads of seed. Indoors, the berries that dropped in the pot readily sprouted. I transplanted it outdoors in the garden, & have been collecting the seeds as they mature. Does anyone have experience saving Talinum seeds? Do they remain viable once dried? I would appreciate any input - I would love to be able to offer them to other gardeners. It has become (another) one of my favorite plants :)

I store all seeds in the fridge and never found any that won't grow after 6 months. But there is always going to be one that throughs me.

I know that this particular plant can be invasive in warmer zones - but there are no accounts for a cooler zone. I wouldn't want to give someone bum seeds_
