To sow or not to sow?

That is my question

Ordered purple artichoke seeds last year on amazon and these came





Now i also ended up getting some other purple artichoke seeds and green globe seeds and both looked nothing like these so i sowed them instead

When i ordered these it didn't say the seller was in china but these did come from china

I know its hard to tell from just the seeds but anyone got any ideas what they could be? And should i sow them to find out in hope they are nothing horrible?

 

@Dips
Could they be Chinese artichoke seed? Stachys affinis
Plant some and see they can always go on the compost heap later.

 

ahhhhh i didnt know there was such a thing this could be interesting then

note quite the purple globe artichokes i ordered the violet thingy ones tho
