Seeds Last: A Few Words on Fall-Sold Seeds

In November and December, we are testing and packing seeds for the following season while continuing to sell seeds that have been packed for the current year.

Seeds labeled "Packed for 2022" are guaranteed to grow if planted before the end of the year (in climates that permit fall and winter growing). Although we cannot guarantee seeds labeled as "Packed for 2022" for the 2023 year, they remain "shelf-legal" until the end of the year—and the vast majority of them will remain viable into next year. When kept in cool, dry conditions, most seeds maintain good germination rates for multiple years.

As our germination testing continues, "Packed for 2023" seeds will continue appearing. At the start of the new year, any remaining seeds available only as "Packed for 2022" stock will be taken offline until a satisfactory germination test is complete on that lot.
