Flower Seeds
Here you can find our flower seeds. We love flowers and plant them throughout our vegetable garden, they bring such a vibrant atmosphere to the patch, with their colour but also as they attract such a diversity of buzzing and humming insects. Some of the insects they attract will actually help you as they eat pests like aphids and caterpillars.
We are planning to expand our selection of flower seeds available in the future. If you would like us to sell a flower that we do not already then we would love to hear from you (info@vitalseeds.co.uk).

Calendula – Orange (Organic)
£2.20Add to basketCalendula – Orange (Organic)
Also known as ‘Pot Marigold’ this is the classic variety of calendula, producing abundant large orange blooms over a very long season. We love calendula and would never go a season without it. It is really easy to grow and loved by humans and insects alike. There is something magical about finding bumblebees sleeping in calendula flowers early in the morning. The flowers are edible (hence the name ‘Pot’ Marigold) and make a great addition to salads. The petals have strong medicinal properties and can be taken as an infusion in hot water or turned into a powerful tincture. Calendula’s medicinal actions include but are not limited to: anti-inflamatory, astringent, vulnery, and anti-microbial.

Cornflower – Blue (Organic)
£2.20Add to basketCornflower – Blue (Organic)
Bright shades of blue flowers attractive to bees and other pollinators, great as cut flower as well. A flower that makes every garden happy. Cornflowers produce masses of stunning blue shaded blooms and attract bees and other insects as well. They were once native to European corn fields, but have mostly disappeared from the landscape due to large scale use of herbicides. Today they mainly find homes in gardens and allotments – we grow them in amongst our vegetables.

French Marigold – Orange (Organic)
£2.20Add to basketFrench Marigold – Orange (Organic)
Golden, orange and red flowers with fragrant foliage. Tagetes is a very rewarding plant. It is easy to grow and produces an abundance of stunning yellow to red coloured flowers. It also makes a great companion plant as the scent is not particularly liked by flies and other insects and the roots produce secretions that have insecticidal and nematicidal (against harmful nematodes) effects. It can also be planted in pots or containers and will embellish gardens and balconies.

£2.20Add to basketNigella – Love-in-a-Mist (Organic)
Pale blue, pink and white flowers on upright, bushy plants with feathery foliage. Nigella flowers or ‘love-in-a-mist’ are a popular and traditional cottage garden flower. The blue, pink and white solitary flowers appear to sit on a bed of ‘misty’ foliage, hence the common name. The plants get about 50cm high and the blossom is followed by a decorative, inflated seed capsule that also makes a nice addition to cut flower arrangements.

Phacelia – Phacelia (Organic)
£2.20Add to basketPhacelia – Phacelia (Organic)
Lavender-purple flowers grown as cover crop. Highly valuable for pollinating insects. Phacelia is extremely attractive to honeybees and other beneficial insects, it provides both pollen and nectar. It is a quick growing annual green manure that germinates at low temperatures and has the potential to catch excess nitrogen as well. We love sowing it in between our crops and rejoice in the lovely flowers and insects that it attracts.

Sunflower – Giant Yellow (Organic)
£2.20Add to basketSunflower – Giant Yellow (Organic)
A very large yellow variety of sunflower, producing impressive blooms up to 30cm in diameter. No surprises here! This is a sunflower that does exactly what it says on the tin. Tall and sturdy plants producing huge single yellow flowers. The flowers are much loved by bees and if you leave the plants over the winter they provide a valuable ecological role as winter bird food (the seeds) and a habitat for many insects (the stems). If you have heavy clay soil incorporating the remains of the plants into the soil in spring will lighten the soil due its high carbon content.
We always grow loads sunflowers, dotted in among our other crops. They are really easy and bring such a bold shameless essence of flower to the garden. They are pure flower and nothing else!(Approximate seed count – 30)
