Title: North American Seed Sources.
Post by: Giles on August 31, 2015, 05:42:07 PM

Are there any other sources of collected North American seed apart from Gardens North and Alplains?

The NARGS seedex lists wild collected seed separately from garden collected.

Maggi,
Thankyou for your suggestion..  I hadn't come across that source before.

Lori,
It was mainly Delphinium seed I was looking for.
Having been totally mesmerised by what Alplains was offering, I wanted to add to the collection.
I found a few more general wildflower seed sources, but they didn't ship overseas.

What about this one?

 Though seeing you are mostly after Delphinum , they only seem to have
Delphinium carolinianum spp. virescens http://www.seedsource.com/catalog/detail.asp?PRODUCT_ID=3058 (http://www.seedsource.com/catalog/detail.asp?PRODUCT_ID=3058)
