Seeds
Watching a seed germinate and grow is a hugely exciting part of your gardening year: you hardly dare believe it's going to work, yet invariably that tiny kernel sends up a sturdy green sprout. The plants you raise from seed are always a bit special, so this year try raising something new from the hundreds of varieties from our garden centre.
- Annuals: hardy annuals like love-in-a-mist, marigolds and nasturtiums are the easiest of all and provide incredibly long seasons of colour from a few seeds scattered direct into the ground in spring.
- Half-hardy annuals include all the bedding plants: in our garden centre you'll find seeds to sow under cover in spring for colourful containers all summer long including pelargoniums, petunias, surfinias and nemesia.
- Perennials: several perennials are very easy from seed, flowering in their first year and coming back again and again. Try echinacea, rudbeckia, grasses like deschampsia and hardy geraniums from our range.
- Vegetable seeds: our largest selection of seeds is reserved for the grow-your-own enthusiast, with every veg from cucumbers to swede. Our heritage ranges boast superb flavour, or for something completely different try exotic veg like tamarilloes.
