Direct Sowing Seeds

Looking to grow fresh vegetables and flowers with less fuss? Our collection of direct sow seeds makes it easy to get great results with less effort. Choose from classic taproot crops like carrot seeds, beetroot seeds, radish seeds, swede seeds, plus herbs like parsley seeds, coriander seeds, and even poppy seeds.

Taproot crops develop their roots early, so they’re best sown directly into the garden. Transplanting can disturb their growth, leading to twisted or deformed roots, and in some cases, the plants may struggle or die. Direct sowing helps them grow strong and straight right where they are meant to thrive.

Avoid Unnecessary Work

Let’s be honest—no one wants to do more work than necessary. Thankfully, some seeds are actually better off sown directly, with no need to fuss over pots or transplanting. Crops with large, vigorous seeds—like pea seeds, bean seeds, sunflower seeds, cucumber seeds, squash seeds, pumpkin seeds, and melon seeds—have all the energy they need to grow beautifully when planted straight into the soil.

For leafy greens and flowers, skip the trays and try scattering seeds like lettuce seeds, spinach seeds, cottage garden flower mixes, and annual flower blends. It’s a great way to fill your garden with colour and flavour, minus the extra effort.
