A Bit Too Crowded
"The number of seeds within a single head is not fixed, but typically falls within a broad range based on the plant’s health and environmental conditions. A common estimate for a typical head is between 150 and 200 seeds. Some observations report as few as 54 or as many as 300 or 400 seeds under optimal growing conditions."
"Maximum estimates suggest a single plant can produce up to 23,000 seeds in a year, demonstrating its colonization potential. This massive output contributes significantly to the soil seed bank, the natural reservoir of dormant seeds in the ground. Some seeds can remain viable for several years, with reports of survival up to nine years in the soil."
