Save rose of Sharon seeds in a cool, dry place. Place the harvested seeds in an envelope labeled with the variety and the date. If you plan on holding the seeds over until spring, the seeds stay fresh for up to one year when you seal them in a jar and keep it in the refrigerator. Pouring a small amount of rice or powdered milk in the bottom of the container prevents any moisture from causing the seeds to mold and spoil.
