Thanks for the recommendation David. Ive ordered a packet of seeds. They provide some good cultivation information too, so fingers crossed I'll have more success this year.
You're welcome, Yviestevie......was this from Eagle, if so, what did you choose?
Never mind OL, Ive ordered now, but thanks for the offer. Maybe next year we can pool resources and share a packet. They are expensive but I'm hoping for good things. Which variety did you go for.
I would just say, that SP seed will keep for another year or even longer......best remember (as with all seed) the germination rate decreases the older it is.
Before someone reminds me, I must add to my previous post, that SP seed will remain viable for several years if stored properly i.e. stored in an airtight tin & kept in a cool place, such as a unheated garage.
The fact remains that all seeds germination rate decreases with age.
I sowed a packet of Help for Heroes s.p's this year which were use by 6/11 and more than half germinated. Only got blues and whites though, the reds must be the weak ones

Yes it was Eagle, I went for the Chelsea collection just my kind of colours. Hope the perfume is good.
Ah, good
I thought the 'Chelsea Collection' seemed to fit the bill, but wasn't sure about quantity of seed & price you were thinking of.
Be assured, their perfume won't disappoint.
Well its probably more seed than I need but the colours are perfect.
Oh Yvie, I wish I'd know, I am posting my spare seeds tomorrow and I have some eagle seeds, I bought far more than I need
