I would like to get seeds from plants & flowers in my garden - does anyone know a website with info & photos?

there are alot of websites around from seed dealers.





However, if you want to propogate your own start collecting as soon as the flowers die off and the seed pods are "ripe". keep the seeds in envelopes that are labelled (a bit obvious but worth a mention). In late winter it sometimes helps to let the seeds experience cold for a few days in a fridge or in a freezer for about 12 hours. Sow in early spring in trays, cover with brown paper and keep in a warm, dark place. In a while you should have plenty of seedlings for next year!





A couple of informative web-sites are RHS and www.bbc.com/gardening...lots of info in both.





hope this helps!

Reply:Try Burpee Seed Company.
Reply:I got some seeds for yellow violets on eBay. Lots of sellers have seeds.
Reply:Alan Titchmarch's site/Sutton seeds.why not collect some from friends and family when the floering is over, they are free
Reply:why not just save the seeds, just let the seed pods dry, then put the seeds into labelled PAPER bags or envelopes and keep then till next year.
Reply:The Royal Horticultural Society website has a plantfinder function and lots of info and links.
