    ALL OF OUR ORLAYA SEEDS HAVE BEEN PRE STRATIFIED IN THE FRIDGE FOR AT LEAST 3 WEEKS.

    Please note that the majority of our seeds are packed by volume so the number of seeds indicated is an approximation.

    We make every effort to provide British seeds where possible, but in some cases our British Growers are unable to grow in sufficient quantities to meet our demand or the seeds are subject to Plant breeders' rights which means it is only possible for us to buy these seeds from certain non UK flower farms
