It might be devastating to know the name Candytuft has nothing with candy. Yeah, it's a bummer. This candy name comes from the name Candia which is an old name for the port city of Heraklion located in Crete.

This is a Candytuft (Iberis umbellata) mix of mostly white, lavender, and a possible splattering of rose color here and there. Before the spent blooms fade to brown the little petals are shed exposing a brilliant green series of seed pods that are just as beautiful as the flowers (in the opinion of this shop) .

It's an easy flower to grow and blooms Spring to Fall. It isn't picky about soil, doesn't need much maintenance, tolerant of some shade, and reseeds easily. The seed can be planted directly outdoors from Fall through mid-summer. As an added plus, they don't attract a lot of pests.

All seeds are hand gathered and so the packet may have little bits of dried flower fluff. There are well over 100 seeds in each packet.

These are garden nerd terms for simple things.
Stratification means simulating what seeds would experience in their natural environment. For instance, some seeds need a chill (winter conditions) before they can sprout. You can often solve this either by sowing in the Fall/Winter, refrigeration, and/or moisture prior to planting. The time varies for seed type. Keep in mind your hardiness zone when ordering seeds as some flower seeds may not work in your climate.
Scarification is a stratification method of nicking or giving a hot water treatment to the seed before planting.

Sometimes special techniques are unneeded, but if the seeds you order require a special process there will be full instructions on the product page.

Not sure, but you can find out by looking up noxious or invasive plants in your county/region/state. Here's more information: https://plants.usda.gov/java/noxiousDriver

NOTE: Etsy may block you from buying items that the USDA says are restricted in your area. If this happens you are more than welcome to ask about this by messaging this shop.

You can keep seeds in a cool dark place. Probably the easiest place is a refrigerator. As far as seeds going bad, seed types differ in how well they keep but most can actually last for a couple of years.

And nope. Doing the seed sink test might work for some seeds like melons, but only if they haven't been thoroughly dried.
Not to worry about the seeds sold in this shop. They are tested for germination and the seeds are no older than the prior summer's harvest.
