Welcome to Missenden Seeds

Hi, I’m Carolyn and I run Missenden Seeds, a small, independent seed company based in Great Missenden in the beautiful Chiltern Hills. I sell seeds, tubers and live plants.

I absolutely love varieties of perennials, biennials and annuals which make beautiful cut flowers and are equally as good for pollinators. I believe that growing flowers should be simple and sustainable. All of the seeds and tubers are grown by me (often in the company of my Springer Spaniels). I do not import or repackage seeds or dahlia tubers. I also only stock open-pollinated varieties from which you can save seed year after year - you will see no F1 varieties here. My blog pages give advice on seed saving.

I use no chemicals and grow everything peat free. As all the seeds are open-pollinated, there is always the chance that the odd seedling may not appear exactly the same as its parent, but it could be something even lovelier.
