Simply Seeds and Plants is based at Orchard Nurseries situated on nine acres of land on the edge of the Norfolk Fens, in fertile farming countryside.

Plants are grown in modern glasshouses from high quality seeds and cuttings using methods and machinery that we have largely developed ourselves. Our sweet pea seed is grown in New Zealand – whose benevolent climate yields unbeatable quality - by our own dedicated grower.

We have extensive experience in the horticultural business and have close contact with leading plant breeders which ensures that we have access to the very best new varieties. In our spare time though we are keen gardeners and allotment holders and so have hands on experience of the plants that we sell. Our expertise comes from over 100 years combined in the plant business. You can trust us to deliver first class healthy plants and we guarantee that you will be satisfied with what you receive.

Our online plant business began in 2006 and quickly became known for delivering high quality sweet pea plants and seeds, strong healthy fuchsias and chrysanthemum plants. Simply Seeds And Plants now offers a much wider range of the plants we know best including perennial plants, vegetable plants and fruit plants. Our web site is in it’s second re-development giving customers an easier to use, informative, safe and enjoyable shopping experience.

How We Grow & Deliver Our Plants

We choose the varieties we offer very carefully. Each year we conduct trials, with as many as 400 different varieties being grown, including a number of new introductions.

We judge new varieties against old favourites (and take in requests from long standing customers!) and then decide on the different kinds we will offer and grow. Each year we aim to introduce brand new varieties.

We are very fussy about our seed and cuttings. To grow strong healthy plants it is vital to start with viable and vigorous parent material. We source from the very best breeders and growers (from up to four continents) to ensure that we receive the finest stock available. After we have received the stock it is kept under carefully controlled conditions to keep it fresh and healthy. The majority of our plants are delivered by Royal Mail in specially designed protective packaging and we guarantee safe delivery.

What are Simply Seeds and Plants Terms & Conditions?

These can be found here.

When will my goods arrive?

This depends on what and when you order and the following is only a general guide covering the Spring. Plants for despatch at other times will be advised on the web site as available

In the growing season (from late February to May) we usually have stocks of most plant varieties and would expect to despatch your goods quite quickly - normally within 7-10 days. Seeds and other items will be sent at the same time. If we are out of stock of a variety and have to grow plants specially, this can take up to 28 days.

Outside the plant despatch season, seed and accessories are still available and we welcome your orders for prompt despatch. If you order these items and plants your order may arrive in more than one consignment.

EARLY ORDERING: You are also welcome to order plants at any time for spring despatch. This means that you will get your plants from the first batches that we grow (ready late February to early March), enabling you to make a flying start in the garden.

How will my order be delivered?

All plants will be delivered using Royal Mail First Class post to ensure that they arrive as swiftly as possible. We use specially designed protective packaging to minimise the risk of damage in transit. Our tests have shown that these methods enable our plants to arrive with you in excellent condition. Other items are despatched using second class or parcel post, depending on size.

Is there a delivery charge?

We add a modest charge as a contribution to our postage, packing and handling which is indicated at the checkout.

What do I do with my plants when I get them?

Open the package straight away and check that the plants are still moist. If they have dried out in transit, water and leave to stand overnight. Thereafter plant in your chosen place. Full instructions will be enclosed with your plants, and you may also find our Hints and Tips pages helpful.

What do I do if my plants do not arrive in good condition?

In the unlikely event of this happening it is important that you contact us straight away, preferably by email. Your satisfaction is very important to us and we will do all we can to rectify the situation without delay.

When are plants available and can I pre-order?

We grow our plants for despatch at the correct time for planting out, that is from mid February to May. During this time we expect to have good availability of most varieties. Outside the main spring despatch period we are still happy to accept orders for plants and will give these early orders priority once despatches commence. Seeds and other goods are available throughout the year for prompt despatch.
