About Suttons

Suttons discount codes and voucher codes are listed above. Here is what the nursery sells, how its seasons run, and what a Suttons discount code covers.

About Suttons

Suttons is one of the oldest seed houses in Britain, trading since 1806, and it sells the full range: vegetable and flower seed, spring and autumn bulbs, plug plants, fruit trees, bare root roses and the growing equipment that goes with them.
Suttons and Dobies are run by the same business. The two catalogues overlap heavily but the promotions are set separately, so a code from one is not accepted by the other. It is the same trap as any pair of sister brands, and it is worth checking which site the basket is actually on before entering anything.

What they sell

Seed is the historic core and still the widest part of the range, but plants delivered as plugs or bare root now carry much of the business. Spring bulbs go on sale from late summer for autumn planting; summer bulbs and tubers sell in the new year.
There is also a steady line in fruit, from soft fruit canes to trained apple and pear trees, plus greenhouse equipment, propagators, composts and pest control.

Buying plants by post

Timing is the thing to get right. Bulbs and bare root stock ship in a planting window rather than on order, so an order placed in September may be dispatched weeks later, and that is correct rather than a delay. The despatch period is stated on the product page.
Bare root plants are cheaper than potted ones, establish well and arrive dormant, looking dead. They are not. Plant them promptly and water them in. Plug plants need potting on before they go outside if frost is still likely, which catches out first-time buyers more than anything else does.
Delivery charges on plants often sit apart from the general threshold, since living stock is packed and shipped separately.

Using a Suttons discount code

Assemble the order first, then put the code into the basket and check the new total before going through to payment. These appear as Suttons discount codes, voucher codes and promo codes.
Seed houses discount heavily at the ends of a season, when the planting window for a line is closing. Pre-order lines, gift vouchers and delivery charges are the usual exclusions.
