They have put the seeds away because it is not the time of year to grow flowers anymore just wait till next spring and they should have more. I know two places were they sell them dollarama and ritchies feed and seed.

Yes, happens every year.
All gardening items are put away the last week of July or the first week in August. The same for small and large air conditioners. Nurseries and gardening centers are all closing down for the season.
Some nurseries will get ready for Fall items such as pumpkins and Christmas trees.
You can still buy seeds through the internet, but you will need to pay a small mailing fee:
http://www.parkseed.com
http://www.burpee.com
And there are many many more.

In Florida it is a regulation that all the seeds must be taken off the shelves by a certain date. Actually it is a great time to buy just before then as lots of places reduce the price. Providing you store the seeds in a cool dry place they will grow next season. I know this does not help you now, but a tip for next year. Happy growing.

Wal-Mart does not have the best seeds anyway. There will be more seeds out and at better places. Check a local nursery or other store; they are still around. Lots of people do planting in autumn and that season is coming up!

If the seeds are handled like the bagged bulbs, all is tossed. At least this was the case at Home Depot. It is in their contract with the wholesaler and the date is set back at corporate offices, not with individual shopes. It stinks!

As others have told you, garden shops, among others, should still have flower seeds (ours do). You can also order on line; the list of sources is endless. One popular, and good place, is www.territorial-seed.com. There are many others as well.
Enjoy.

She was pulling your pinata, they never put seeds away. She was too lazy to give you a good answer, you should call the manager of the store.
