Growing perennials from seed

Where is the best place to order perennial seeds from? I only have a cold frame, will that be enough to start them off?

    Hardy perennials never need heat and some of them hate it. A cold frame will be fine. I use Chiltern Seeds a lot ans Special Plants


    In the sticks near Peterborough

    I use Chilterns too - great descriptions in the catalogue - and Plant World and Seedaholic.  All online for me and great service so far.

    Added to above, Premier seeds Direct, all available on eBay, usually 99p and most post free, no need to pay for fancy packets and pictures, these are just as good.
    just don’t get temped by bright coloured flowers from China😀

    Chiltern Seeds are good (obviously popular here) and I also buy from Kings Seeds.

    Another vote for Chiltern seeds. Their catalogue is so tempting!

    Just looked at Chilterns they are expensive, I sowed 80 different lots this year,  couldn’t  have afforded those.
