From humble father and son beginnings, Suttons have continued to grow. They are now part of Vilmorin, the largest packet seed distributors in the world.
Suttons was founded in 1806 by John Sutton and has blossomed into the reliable company that it is today. They have supplied seeds to Royal households since 1858, when Queen Victoria requested seed from Martin Hope Sutton, son of the founder. The Royal Warrant has been bestowed on the firm ever since.
They have always been at the peak of the garden seed, bulb and plant market. In 1965, Suttons were the first company to offer foil packets to the amateur gardener in the UK. Through the use of new techniques, cutting edge technology and forward-looking research they have matured into the brand name we know and love.
Any gardener looking for something different to test their growing skills should find it in the Sutton seed collection. Be it an unusual houseplant, an exotic climber to scale an unsightly fence or maybe something different in the way of vegetables, to add taste and colour to the dinner plate.
If you’re looking for something for both the garden and the table, then add a splash of colour by planting some Suttons Beef Leaf Swiss Chards Seeds. They are the most ornamental of Swiss Chards and ideal for the flower border. Or if you’re a sweet toothed, adventurous gardener try growing Suttons Cantaloupe Melon Seeds. They are one of the quickest growing varieties of melon and they hold the Award of Garden Merit.
Suttons put all of their seeds through rigorous testing. They check the standards of various seed and plant attributes, such as germination success and optimum growing temperatures. So when you get your seed home, you know that by choosing Suttons you’ll be growing healthy, high quality plants.
