Any idea what kind of seeds these are?

10 years ago

I have bags of seeds laying all around my garage. A year or two ago, I ordered Heuchera seeds and planted a few but none germinated. I decided to try again this year with the Heuchera, and am looking for the seeds amongst all of these others. Do these look like Heuchera seeds to you? If not, what would they look like? Thanks!

Looks like onion seeds to me.

The picture is to fuzzy to make the shape of the seed. Heucheras usually have tiny, petunia-like seeds, as far as I know.

Yes some seeds have less success of germinating as time goes on. Looks like the seeds need light to germinate and you might be able to sow direct into the garden as well, http://www.stokeseeds.com/product.aspx?ProductID=40082&CategoryID=571

They are clock outlets. You hang your clock on the hook and plug it into the outlet. They allow your clock to hang nice and flush to the wall. I’ve never seen the used for sconces. You can simply remove them and hang any sconce you choose on the electrical box these outlets are mounted on.

Slightly magnetic - Is it polished metal? These are used in places like public restrooms, schools, and dormitory bathrooms.

I've bought used replacements at local ReStore and eBay and new ones from Amazon. Measure the current face plate size and spacing of knob and key hole to make sure you are matching up. There was no standard back when.

Kind of like onions, but too fuzzy to tell for sure. To me they look more like Yucca filamentosa seeds.

Heuchera seeds are more like brown-black dust: way smaller than petunia seeds.

Just sprinkle a few atop the potting mix -- avoid the temptation to use too many. And don't sprinkle any potting mix over the seeds, because they need light to germinate. But do cover the pots with clear plastic so the mix doesn't dry up.

Once the seeds have sprouted, remove the cover. Mist the top or water them from below as needed.

I agree that it is hard to tell, with the photo out of focus... but they look like morning glory seeds.
