Dear Chad,

These are fairly short lived.

I can't be sure but these may live, if kept refridgerated.

> Sarracenia purpurea ssp. purpurea

You can refridgerate these for sure.

Chad, given the circumstance, I would just give the seeds to
those who want, and ask for some more later. I'd be sure to send
the short-lived seeds to a seed bank or friens and keep the
long-lived stuff the fridge.
