Dinner Plates by Thompson & Morgan

Thompson & Morgan is one of the oldest names in British horticulture, founded in Ipswich in 1855 and still operating from the same Suffolk base. The catalogue is unusually deep for a brand at this price tier, running from £2 seed packets through to £40 mature potted plants and £200+ established trees and shrubs.

The range covers three connected lines. Garden plants make up the bulk of the listing, with hardy perennials, climbers, shrubs and specimen trees stocked in 9cm, 1-litre, 2-litre and 5-litre pot sizes. The seed catalogue covers vegetables, salads, herbs, annual flowers and wildflower mixes. The bulb season (autumn for spring-flowering, spring for summer) brings in the Iris, Lilium, Tulipa and Narcissus stock that the brand is best known for.

Thompson & Morgan sits in the mid-market for plants and seeds. They're not the cheapest (specialist online nurseries undercut on rare cultivars), and they're not the most premium (David Austin and McBean's lead on roses and orchids respectively). They are the brand to consider when you want a properly identified plant, delivered in good condition, with a 100% growing-success guarantee on most lines and the kind of catalogue depth that lets you stock a full border from one supplier.
