The problem must lie in one or more of those areas.
I did not participate in this offer. but in 2014, the last offer, similarly , I got 0 (zero) germination from the heart varieties I requested. It was suggested to me at that time that the problem must be my growing techniques despite all of my other seeds grown under the identical circumstances germinating normally.
Are your” seed producers” all using the same techniques?

Karen, I already posted that seed offer from 2014 in this germination thread,and did so since even though you didn't ask for seeds from the latest offer,which is for folks who participated ,I said at the top to go down a few posts where that starts,since I wanted to use the same verbiage I'd used before.

I can take a look at that post, so can you, and see what you requested, but all I remember was when you asked me for seeds of Ludmilla's Pink Heart, and that was many many years ago as you already know.
