Focus on Suttons Seeds

Sutton Seeds are one of the oldest and most recognised companies in the seed producing industry. At Seeds By Post (http://www.seedsbypost.co.uk/) we think they have one of the best selections of seeds in the business.

Their impressive history goes back over 200 years to 1806 when a corn supplying company was founded by John Sutton in Reading. When John's sons eagerly joined the business in 1837 they helped it branch out into the sales of vegetable and flower seeds, using their passion and business acumen to expand rapidly. In 1858 Queen Victoria requested Suttons Seeds supply the royal household, bestowing the royal patronage upon them which is still honoured in the present day, by Queen Elizabeth.

Innovation always played a big role at Suttons Seeds, in 1840 they proved themselves to be well ahead of their time by establishing a laboratory for the testing of seed germination and purity, 80 years before the practice became law with the seeds act of 1920. And again in 1965 when Suttons began using foil fresh packets they had spent years developing, they were the first company to do this in the UK. Here's a look at a selection of their ranges which we supply:

Organic – Carrying the organic farmers and growers seal of approval, this broad range of seeds are all from organic origins and are certifiably free from pesticides and chemicals. All your vegetable favourites can be found here from the delicious F1 flyaway organic carrot (£2.45 per packet) to the black beauty courgette (£2.85 per packet) and much more.

Eden project – Becoming a landmark millennium project in the year 2000, the Eden project has blossomed as not only a beautiful tourist destination but also as an acclaimed botanical research centre. In this partnership with them, Suttons Seeds bring our customers unusual and challenging flower and vegetable seeds from around the world, such as their bird of paradise flowers at £3.55 per packet.

Fast flowers – Great for beginners or those who just don’t have as much time as they’d like to spend on cultivation. This lovely selection of fast growing flower seeds can be sown directly where they will grow and bloom in just 6 weeks with a minimal amount effort. Pretty calendula daisies (£1.65 per packet) and paquito sunflowers (£1.99 per packet) are perfect for planting in spring.

Wildlife garden – Chosen for their attractiveness to birds and other types of wildlife, these countryside classics will work just as well in your back garden. Ranging from bee friendly 'blue boy' cornflowers (£2.45 per packet) to the Buddleia, butterfly attracting, mix (£2.45 per packet) this selection is sure to liven up any outdoor space.

All of Suttons Seeds have been trialled and tested to ensure your vegetables are fresh, healthy and tasty and your flowers bloom. At Seeds by Post (http://www.seedsbypost.co.uk/) we are proud to supply the seeds of such a landmark company. And with all the other producers we stock, you need look no further.
