| Hi everyone,
I have a ton of seeds that I got from some pods that were growing from my impatiens. I want to plant these in the spring, how would I preserve them over the winter? Do I keep the seeds in an envelope or in the refrigerator? And how far into the soil do they have to planted?
Thanks so much for your help.

| I allow the seeds to dry then store them in paper coin envelopes in the veggie crisper drawer of the refrigerator. |

| Oh, okay. I've just posted a new post asking the same thing. (sorry about that.) But I thought the seeds had to have a freezing period(?) Lela/that owl |

| I have had no problems without cold chilling. Granted with my experience its not too bad with the germination rate. But you can keep them in the cooler if you like. |

| I always collect some seeds from my Coral Swirl Impatiens every summer. I usually just pick the "bigger" pods carefully off the plant and let them pop open in my closed hand and sort the seeds from the green seed pod. I leave them on some kleenex or a dish to dry for several days until I'm certain they are dry then just put them in a small ziplock bag in my seed box at room temperature until I am ready to plant them the next Spring. The seeds may not produce exactly the same shades as you had the previous year. Happy Gardening aker |
