No matter what you want to grow, our growing guides are designed to help you grow plants you’re genuinely proud of. Simple steps, practical tips and real‑life advice; because growing your own should feel joyful, not complicated.

Collie Flowers is sure to have a guide to help you on your way to harvesting happiness. Our guides are regularly being updated to reflect new stocks we bring in, but if there's something you're looking for and can't find here, just drop us a message because I'm sure we can help out!

Sow & Grow

It took a while to work it out, but Sow & Grow is the app I actually wanted when I first set up Collie Flowers: clear guidance, no faff, and everything you need to plan, sow and grow with confidence. After years of sharing sowing charts, growing notes and step‑by‑step advice, we've finally brought it all together in one place – the Sow & Grow app; a tool you can carry in your pocket and use whenever you're planning, pottering or checking what to do next.
