We do offer some of our products in smaller bags, these include Drought Repair Grass Seed and Patch and Repair Grass Seed. Most of our Agricultural and Equine seed is sold in 1 acre packs and Lawn & Grass seed is sold in 10kg and 20kg quantities.
Our Wildflower seed comes in smaller bags because it only takes a small quantity to cover an area.

We recommend using your seed within 2 years of purchase. As long as it is stored correctly in a cool and dry place, grass seed is often usable for several years. All of our grass seed bags are sealed with a green DEFRA label detailing mixture information and the date it was sealed.
Some of our seed mixtures can start to germinate within 3-4 days in perfect conditions. However, 7-10 days is the average. Some species of seed can take a little longer to germinate, so we recommend allowing up to 14 days.
