I have been so out of the loop with DG, that I can not even find the seed trading area anymore, so I apologize for my request here.
A while back I saw a listing on eBay for seeds, and I believe the name of the MG was Berlin. I can not find any on eBay, and was wondering if anyone could tell me if this is legit. MG, and if it is, where can I buy some seeds? It doesn't even have to be Berlin, but something with that beautiful, intense, dark blue color would be wonderful. I just don't want to pay a lot on eBay, and come to find out next year I ended up with a "mix" (I don't know any of the sellers). We just closed on a house in the middle of Aug, and have an orchard that is separated from our regular back yard with a fence that is about 20 feet long, and I would love to add some MGs there next year.
Any help would be so much appreciated!

Shelly, since you are Colorado, and high elevations, you may be out of luck with the exotics and their fantastic colors. Many of them have to grow 5 to 6 months before they get their first bud, and then the seeds take a long time to ripen too. I spent $200 on seeds before I found out that the great mgs take a long time to bloom. Maybe past the time you get your first frost. Stick with the ones that you can grow there, that will bloom 60 days from seed, ie, "Purpureas". Don't buy seeds on ebay unless it is from Onalee or JMGLVR. Jmglvr has been growing and selling mg seeds longer than the rest of the people on the mg thread and is very knowledgable about them. Save yourself some heartaches and find out what you cannot grow before you spend lots of money on seeds, that won't do anything for you after you have done all the hard work. Frank

Thank you so much Frank! Just the info I was looking for. So the dark blue ones are considered exotic correct? I do winter over quite a few things, but have never been great with the vines. Maybe I will just go with Heavenly blue, and call myself happy LOL. Thank you for the info on the sellers. I do know Onalee, but to know about JMGLVR is great. I really appreciate your response.

I must agree with Frank JMGLVR is one of the best, along with
gwgerris2 and phicks48. Very knowlegable and care about what they sell.
