Hello Janet Novak,

I have collected seed in Alpes Mountains (This Summer) and i have sow seeds immediately in mix of sand ,heathland and garden soil.
Trichophorum alpinum germinated good but i dont know if the plants resisted well after the winter.
I have different type of condition in my garden, and i try multiple zone to grow the plants.

If you want , i could send you some seed, i think i have some !

What is the type of plants and garden you have ?

If you're interested to exchange some seed , tell me your list in PM, i have some seed for you.

See you later and have a good day !
