Kings £150 for 20 seeds or Thompson & Morgan £2.99 for 25 !!!! I am deffo going over to King seeds you get a good choice and a good price.

Gg, I have not heard of Kings seeds before but from reading your comments I shall be looking out for them now!
My Sweet Peas are a wishy-washy pale pink, not the vibrant pink I was expecting ... :o(
