  • Non GMO flower seeds

    Created by Martha Ann on June 20, 2016 at 4:13 pm

    Next summer I want to plant non-GMO FLOWERS, which are good for honey bees. I found that you carry some of what I am looking for and have them in my cart. If I order them now, will they last until next spring, or should I wait and order next year?

    Hi Martha –

    There’s little agreement about how long seeds last, but one thing’s for sure, seeds loose strength as they age and even if they germinate they may not have the vigor to produce beautiful, healthy flower plants like they did when they were fresh. Play it safe and wait until next year. We get our new seeds in-stock around the 1st of the year and should have the same varieties available again next year! I’ve included an article that should help.
