| I purchased some seed through the mail and they arrived yesterday, but I wasn't home and forgot to check the mailbox last night, so the seeds sat in the mailbox for probably 24 hours. What is the probability I have baked my seeds and none will germinate? These are the seeds I bought: Scabiosa Fama Deep Blue |

| The only way to find out is to test plant them by putting seeds between wet paper towels. Brown towels are probably best these days because white ones have a white dye in them. I know they streak windows, so who knows what they would do to seeds. Sorry for the misfortune. Maybe plant a tree by your mailbox now, for shade. |

| I would not expect much damage. Overheating seed is certainly not a good thing, but how often do you see racks of seeds in front of garden centers, rolled out every morning into the full days sun. Al |
