Eco seeds are Open Pollinate or Non Hybrid seed with no chemical coatings and GE
Open pollinated means you can save seed from your own plants and expect it to
grow “true to type” - provided it hasn’t cross-pollinated. Unlike the hybrid varieties popular today- seed from hybrids will not grow true to type - you have to buy new seed each year.
