“Gardening habits in the UK are shifting fast. People want high-impact, reliable results whether they’re growing on a sunny balcony or a full allotment. With the new 2027 seed range, we’ve focused heavily on solving real garden challenges – from ultra-fast crops that beat short growing seasons to show-stopping cut flowers that bring the luxury bouquet trend straight into your backyard.
Whether it’s a compact melon that can be eaten whole, or breathtaking double Asters that give you armfuls of fresh cut flowers, I’m excited that every single seed in this range has earned its spot by offering something genuinely different.”
