Why grow from seed?

Growing something from seed is exciting. It’s a great way of getting back in touch with the land, and watching the seedlings emerge and grow is immensely satisfying.

Seeds rarely transmit disease, giving plants a good healthy start in life. Growing your own plants from seed is also cheaper, giving you more plants for your money.

Each seed also represents a unique and different plant, so you could find yourself enjoying the odd interesting variation in flower colour or plant height and habit.
