Royal Warrant

Royal Warrant

Our Royal Warrant is a mark of recognition of supplying Flower and Vegetable seeds to the Household of HM The Queen. The Royal Warrant is the actual document that appoints Suttons in it's trading capacity as 'Seedsmen' and gives permission and responsibility to us to display the Royal Arms in connection with our business. We have been supplying the Royal Family with seeds since the 1850's starting with Queen Victoria. The honour of the Royal Warrant has been bestowed on us since 1871. We are delighted and proud to have held the Royal Warrant for the last 153 years.

    QVC People's Choice 2020 Winner!
    QVC's Michael Perry, also known as Mr Plant Geek, was disappointed when the RHS was forced to cancel the Chelsea Flower Show 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic. So, for 2020 and with QVC, he decided to run a 'Plant of the Year' vote in honour of the annual RHS Chelsea award, encouraging readers to have a 'Plant Geek's Vote'. Much to our joy, the winning plant was our very own Jacaranda Bonsai Blue, which will be entered into the RHS Plant Of The Year 2021 competition for 2021. Jacaranda Bonsai Blue - Shop Now
