Hardy Annual Seeds

Hardy Annual Seeds

There’s something truly special about growing your own flowers from seed, whether you’re filling borders, brightening pots or cutting blooms to bring indoors. From fragrant Sweet Peas to vibrant Nasturtiums and delicate Poppies, our beautiful selection of hardy annual seeds offers endless colour and charm.

Choosing hardy annuals is an easy and affordable way to fill your garden with glorious summer colour. These plants flower within a single season but are tough enough to handle cooler temperatures and even a light frost, making them perfectly suited to the UK climate. They can be sown earlier than half‑hardy annuals, giving you a head start on the season.

Most hardy annuals won’t survive winter, but many will happily self‑seed, popping up again the following spring. And starting fresh each year gives you the perfect excuse to try new varieties, experiment with colour schemes and keep your garden feeling exciting and full of life.
