Grow a garden that gives back every season with our Perennial Vegetables from Seed collection. These long lived crops return year after year, offering reliable harvests with minimal effort. Ideal for gardeners who want resilience, sustainability and flavour without constant replanting.

From asparagus and artichokes to perennial kales, sorrels and Welsh onions, these plants establish deep root systems and reward you with generous yields for many seasons. Whether you’re building a low maintenance vegetable patch, adding edible structure to borders, or creating a regenerative garden, perennial vegetables are a smart, future proof choice.

Growing Tips Start seeds in modules or pots for strong early growth. Plant into fertile, well drained soil. Allow plants to establish fully before heavy harvesting. Mulch annually to protect crowns and retain moisture. Divide mature plants every few years to maintain vigour. Most perennial vegetables thrive in full sun

Some can, such as sorrel and Welsh onions, but deep rooted crops like asparagus prefer open ground. Do perennial vegetables need winter protection? Most are hardy and tolerate winters well. When can I start harvesting? Light harvesting in year one for leafy types; asparagus and artichokes need 2–3 years to mature.
