The best place to buy seeds in the UK in 2022

When lockdown was announced in March in 2020 online seed websites struggled to meet demand.

The likes of Suttons and Thompson & Morgan reported longer delays for deliveries because of high demand for those who were trying their hand at gardening during lockdown.

It may be the middle of winter but gardeners across the country are already planning for Spring and online seed sites are stocking up.

Amazon

Amazon is still selling some sets of flowers including smaller pots for children and bee bombs - packs of seeds that grow into flowers that are ideal for bees. There are also butterfly-friendly flower sets but many of the options will take around 14 days to deliver as the internet giant prioritises essentials for delivery.

Suttons

Suttons is a massive online superstore for seeds, plants and flowers, and it is currently holding a sale on flowers, fruit and vegetable plants, and gardening accessories.

Suttons has also launched mystery boxes, with a £20 box filled with £75 worth of gardening items and seeds, and a £37.50 box featuring items worth £150.

The site is also full of growing guides and tips for all year round.

Thompson & Morgan

Thompson & Morgan is a major seed and plant retailer that delivers to your door and you can order the latest catalogue free here.

The retailer has a sale on bulb plants including begonia and lupin varieties. New arrivals to the store include Cambridge Favourite Strawberries, Arran Pilot potatoes and hybrid geraniums.

Thompson & Morgan offers a price promise and will beat any competitor if you find it more expensive elsewhere.

Wowcher

Deals website Wowcher is selling plants and seeds at discount prices. It currently has an offer on 40 packs of garden seeds and garden clippers for £15.99.

New members of Topcashback can get £10 off their order, bringing the price of the 40 packs down to £5.99. You can sign up here and get the deal.
