Here you will find a comprehensive selection of herb seeds that will make a fantastic addition to any patio, kitchen garden, windowsill box or ornamental planting scheme! Herbs are incredibly versatile plants, and for keen gardening and culinary enthusiasts, growing herbs from seed will prove a rewarding venture.

Not only are herb seeds and herb plants easy to grow in pots or containers - making them hugely accessible ‘grow your own’ option - but many will provide an instant fresh ‘cut and come again’ supply provided they are kept in good light, making them perfect for growing in the kitchen just where they’re needed. Many will also thrive in ‘open ground’ in the garden, and can be incorporated into garden borders, grown in containers for the patio, or even grown in garden lawn - making mowing a riot of the senses! Of course, herb gardens are also a popular addition to any kitchen garden, and given the sheer variety of herbs suited to UK climates, can become extensive growing spaces within their own right.

Amongst our selection of herb seeds, you will find flowering herbs that add accents of colour to your garden, whilst attracting a multitude of beneficial insects, such as bees and butterflies. But if culinary use is your main concern, then you will be pleased to learn that we have carefully selected what we believe to be the very best of each herb variety, giving you the pick of an abundant selection of flavoursome herbs that can be frozen, dried or hung in your kitchen, or perhaps used to flavour oils.

For the last 2 years I bought a product from you which I think was called Stop Grow for hedges and grass - it slowed them down. Do you still sell it? Thank you.

We regret we have now exhausted our stocks of Stop Gro G8 - and as this product is to have its usage revoked by the Pesticide Safety Directorate we are no longer able to obtain fresh stocks to continue supply as legally manufacture has to cease a year before a product is no longer allowed to be sold.
Sorry to disappoint.
Interestingly the same active ingredient is still approved for and will continue to be sold and used on food crops such as potatoes and onions to prevent premature sprouting.
