The RHS Seed list is produced each year by a small, dedicated team of staff and volunteers, based at RHS Garden Wisley. They collect, clean and pack seed for RHS Members, covering 180 species, including annuals, herbaceous perennials, trees and shrubs.

Growing from seed can be fun and rewarding. If not already an RHS Member, consider joining the RHS to take advantage of this and many other fantastic benefits.

Open pollination

Seed is collected from open-pollinated plants. Therefore, seed may not come true and may be hybridised.

Toxic seeds

While every effort is made to highlight those seeds which are known to be toxic, it should be assumed that ALL seed could be potentially harmful or cause skin irritation.

Invasive species

The RHS Seed team endeavours to exclude seeds of potentially invasive species.

Plants for Pollinators

Those plants flagged with the bee symbol are ‘Plants for Pollinators’. This identifies plants that are good for attracting pollinating insects into the garden.
