I just bought myself a rose of sharon 'lucy' after reading its a sterile triploid. My plant was near other double flowered varieties that are lilac colored. Anyway, my plant has 10 + seed pods all with mature seeds in them. Everything I read about this cultivar says little to no seeds, but my plant has quite a few. Is this a rarity?

I'm actually not upset about this, just shocked.

Im going to save the seeds and grow them, this is the first double petaled variety I have found with viable seeds so curious if the trait will be passed on and if I get some crazy color combo!
