Seed collecting has been going on a pace across the nursery and we find it amazing sometimes how beautiful the seed heads of plants can be. Although we propagate many of our plants by vegetative means there are some plants that come true from seed. Some seeds germinate relatively quickly whilst others need much longer and require a cold snap, which we often provide by putting the seed trays in the fridge. We also store all our seeds in the fridge in small airtight jars. On receiving a request recently from Bejing in China for plants which, at present, we cannot accommodate, instead we collated a list of seed we could send, from which we have had a good response. Now that we have a collection of seed we will shortly be adding this to our website.
