Transform your flower pots to your veg patch with exciting new seeds from Thompson & Morgan. Each year, we introduce innovative varieties that have been developed for improved performance, long-lasting beauty, or exceptional flavour.
With just a few of these new seeds, you can completely change the look and feel of your garden by adding unusual shapes, colours and textures. Here are just some of the stand-out new flowers and vegetables that look likely to cause a commotion next season!
New flower seeds
Growing to 50cm tall, these vibrant new zinnias pair beautifully with purple foliage plants

- Sunflower ‘Beaches Mix’ – This tough but graceful sunflower is particularly well-suited to coastal gardens and challenging situations where its showy flowers bloom for an impressively long season.
- Zinnia ‘Macarenia’ – Sizzling with spicy colour, these large scarlet petals are dipped in gold and bloom from July to October.
- Antirrhinum ‘Sweet Duet’ F1 – This new Antirrhinum boasts scented double flowers in a fruity palette of colours from peach to deep red.
- Nasturtium ‘Alaska Salmon’ – A non-trailing variety ideal for patio containers, the marbled foliage of this new nasturtium looks great even before the soft salmon flowers emerge.
- Rudbeckia ‘Kokardas’ – Each of these short plants produces over 20 giant flowers that continue to bloom until the first frosts.
- Freesia ‘Royal Crown Mix’ – Unlike other varieties that take years to bloom, ‘Royal Crown Mix’ delivers a colourful range of fragrant, large flowers in its first year.
New vegetable seeds
Grow your own sweet, heart-shaped fruits that can’t be bought in a store

- Chilli Pepper ‘Quick Fire’ F1 – This is the fastest UK variety currently available, maturing in as little as 65 days from sowing. Great for indoor window sills.
- Sweet Pepper ‘Mamba Sweet’ F1 – With attractive black fruits ripening to bright red, these sweet and crunchy peppers can be grown on a sunny patio.
- Tomato ‘Heartbreakers Vita’ F1 – A productive little bush tomato, the heart-shaped fruits are sweet, juicy fruit and tender-skinned.
- Broccoli (Easy Floret) ‘Skytree’ F1 – This fast-maturing variety is a cross between calabrese and stem broccoli and benefits from a sweeter flavour.
- Herb Basil (Lettuce Leaved) ‘Sally’ – These large purple leaves have the same soft texture and intense flavour as their smaller cousins but their size is perfect for wrapping meat, fish or veg before barbecuing or roasting.
- Popcorn ‘Fiesta’ – These stunning, long, multi-coloured cobs produce kernels of yellow, red, black, purple and pink that make excellent popcorn.

Would love to win this. Having been trying to grow vegetables for a year or two and wanting to incorporate flowers for cutting, this would be an excellent start for next year’s journey
This would be wonderful to win. I started an allotment project 18 months ago, growing veg for ourselves and neighbours. With so many struggling it’s been a real help. More seeds for next season would be a massive help.
