Like I said they are very small.The actual seed is the brown dot within each thread. It's fine to save them as they are here.
Keep them in a small paper envelope in a cool dry location. About 6 weeks before your last Spring frost is time to plant them in flats of pre-moistened seed starter mix. Just drop the seed on top, do not cover them. Cover the flat loosely with wax paper and place on sunny window sill. Bottom water to keep moist. They will sprout in a couple of weeks. They bloom the first season.
Have fun.
