Gorse seed wanted
« on: March 18, 2018, 10:05:35 AM »
I am looking for seeds of both Ulex minor and Ulex gallii. Maybe it is not the right time of the year?

Trond, I have had a reply from a seed firm in the UK called John Chambers. They ask what quantity of seed you require and your address. Maybe it would be better to contact them direct to see if they can supply? Their email is sales@johnchamberswildflowers.co.uk

Trond, I have had another message from John Chambers to say they cannot source either Gorse. Perhaps Sandeman Seed can help.

Ian,

Thank you very much for your help. I have ordered some seeds from Sandeman. They had other interesting stuff too!

Trond, I think the firm may have been dissolved in May 2017.

Think they moved to France. Maybe due to Brexit?
