Does anyone have this variety and would be willing to trade seeds? I live in Benewah County and desperately want these, but the only place I can find them is at Sand Hill Preservation, and they aren't offering them this year.
Thanks!

If you cannot find any fresher seeds closer, I have some 2016 saved seeds. That reminds me to sow some of them this year to get new seeds.

I have a seed envelope from Sand Hill from 2014 - seed must have been produced in 2013 or earlier. These are even older than Svalli's but closer for mailing. My grow out notes say a small red, not impressive in any way. You are welcome to their seed envelope, if you want it PM me.

That would be WONDERFUL!! Messaging you now!
@svalli
If I can't get a plant/seeds out of these older seeds, maybe you could spare me a few after harvest.
Thank you both SO much!

I did try sprout two of my older 2014 collected seeds on wet paper towel and both of them sprouted and are now planted. If all goes well next fall I will have fresh seeds.

I moved it into this year's line up. I was planning to do all my Idaho varieties next year, but these seeds need to be used NOW.
