Now I have some in the greenhouse, which flower but we'll see if they have enough time for the seeds to ripen before the frosty nights come. <br />I store the seeds in the fridge and they keep for two years that way (the second year not all germinate though) but not for longer. I have also kept some seeds in the freezer in -20C and they seem to keep their viability longer.Leenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14266878515009058403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9129357734481422196.post-2531582506890850492015-09-06T17:12:21.321+03:002015-09-06T17:12:21.321+03:00Hi Leena

In the UK when we get a poor summer the plants fail to produce any seed so I then have to obtain seeds from elsewhere as I have not been able to store viable seeds for longer than one year. Unfortunately this year I may have made a mistake in sowing large numbers of seed from a single plant that flowered early. These plants do not seem to be as vigorous as my original stock and the leaves turn pinkish red which. I have not tested yet to see if they are good producers of indigo. The original source of my seeds was the USA. I have grown the German supplied seeds and also "Wild Colour" seeds but lost these (white flower) varieties in the summer of 2012 which was dismal indeed.<br />Regards<br />Ashley Walker from Natures RainbowAshley Walkerhttps://www.facebook.com/pages/Natures-Rainbow/833419550056367?ref=aymt_homepage_panelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9129357734481422196.post-66077706421221819822015-02-15T14:46:52.342+02:002015-02-15T14:46:52.342+02:00leena, you have a wonderful body of research going...leena, you have a wonderful body of research going here, it's so interesting to read.Velma Bolyardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12446502295849533888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9129357734481422196.post-49446642168711323662015-02-09T09:57:05.994+02:002015-02-09T09:57:05.994+02:00hyvä juttu, kiitos Leena:))hyvä juttu, kiitos Leena:))Ilona Winebridgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12255116456106741339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9129357734481422196.post-57992078885914933892015-02-05T09:50:54.462+02:002015-02-05T09:50:54.462+02:00Kiva, kiitos.
