Seed catalogues

I was only thinking about it yesterday and today my Sutton's seed catalogue for 2013 arrived, having had a quick look through I'm quite disappointed. Plug and pot plants now take up nearly half the catalogue and seeds are very basic, nothing that immediately catches my eye.

So, who do you suggest I try please, Sutton's will not be getting my money this time. I'm looking for flower seeds.

 

I get catalogues from Marshall's, Dobies of Devon, and JP Parker as well as Suttons. The latter two seem to be mostly plug plants as you say.

 

I got quite excited when my Sutton catalogue dropped on the mat at the weekend. I have only had a quick look, but I am also disappointed. I thought even the layout is very hap dash.

If you're after seeds, request one from Chiltern's, no pictures (good descriptions though) but hundreds and hundreds of species and varieties to through...

 

Now don't start young Armandii! A mix of both, I need something new to read of course.

 

Chilterns are excellent, as are Plant World Seeds, Nickys Nursery and Secret Seeds.

 

I'm happy to await the Great Seed Swap packets with a nice glass of something and my PC switched on to Google and browse.....

Thanks all, I'll have a look at the sites later.

 

I would Jenny, but as yet I have no seeds to swap and I don't drink, so a bit of a non-starter for me.

 

Sheal,
I'm sure there will be more than enough seeds for us all.
Have a nice Elderflower frappe (over ice) and put your name on the Seedswap list,

Now you'll think me weird Jenny.........the only thing I drink is water. Or milk for medicinal purposes.

 

Spot on

I'd add Jungle Seeds too for some of their unusual things, but they are at the more expensive end of things; I've always had good quality from them though.

My seeds arrived safely from taste.ecrater.com (in America) too.
