    I have Nicotiana sylvestris seeds if anyone wants any. Saved last year and can vouch for them having germinated well this year. When people send out seeds, what kind of amounts do you send? These are tiny seeds, in the thousands.

    ie: it's unlikely anyone would want to grow hundreds, but would it be disappointing to receive a little pinch of seeds in an envelope? (Sorry, way too late to edit the above)

    Dove I have nearly a full packet of sweet rocket lilac got free with a mag if you would like them pm me
  • LG, when I send out seeds I normally send 40 - 50 seeds or more, I always allow for roughly 50% germination, and suggest they are sown in two or three batches some now and some next spring (using a cold frame or greenhouse for those sown in the autumn). Perhaps others are more generous.

    That is very kind of you ... someone is sending me some but I'm not sure whether they're the lilac or the white (I like both).  If they're sending the white ones I'll PM you for the lilac as well.  Thank you so much  :)

    Fire - I've not seen any self seed so far. Honesty does in my garden, along with foxgloves.
