Sweet peas - where to buy seed in Britain and North America

Sweet peas are favorite flowers on both sides of the Atlantic and I'm often asked where to buy seed. So here are some lists of seed companies who only sell sweet peas and other seed companies with a good range - for both sides of the Atlantic - with some wholesalers at the end.

I hope I've not missed out anyone, or made any slips - if I have, please post a comment below and I'll update this page.

Can I also remind me about my book on sweet peas - The Sweet Pea Book - which is packed with beautiful pictures and great information, including a guide to growing them in different parts of the United States as well as in Britain.

Graham, a really nice company here in Canada is Florabunda Seeds, in Ontario; they have some fine heritage varieties of sweet peas, and even I have had good success with them. Their website is www.florabundaseeds.com.

I use Unwins and Mathewmans sweetpeas, they are both good reliable suppliers of exhibition and garden quality sweet peas, btw the book is excellent well recommended,ideal for all sweet pea growers.

Thanks Jodi... Yes I know about Florabunda but haven't had a catalog from the recently. Sorry I forgot them, I'll add them in.

Yes digger, Matthewmans are excellent but I think Unwins have suffered from their takeover a few years back and are yet to return to their former glory.
