- How do the filters work?
- Choose a category, a difficulty, an amount of sun or "Grows in pots". Each group takes one choice at a time, and choosing it again switches it off. Choices from different groups add up, so Easy plus Grows in pots shows only the easy seeds that grow in containers.
- What order are the seeds in?
- A to Z by their common name. Each page shows up to 48 seeds, with a link to the next page when there are more.
- How is difficulty rated?
- Every seed is rated easy, moderate or challenging by our editors, going by how easily it grows from seed.
- What do the sun filters mean?
- Full sun means 6 or more hours of direct sun, partial shade a few hours, and full shade little or no direct sun. Many seeds grow in more than one, so they show up under each.
