Please find for sale 50+ fresh organic Common Gorse seeds (Ulex Europaeus). Also known as Furze, gorse is a familiar sight out on the heathlands down here in the New Forest and also in other areas such as Dartmoor where livestock roams wild. It thrives because it is one of the few plants and bushes that the ponies and cattle will not eat unless they are absolutely desperate due to its thorns! In gardens Gorse can be a really useful shrub. Firstly, it is one of the few plants that flowers right in the middle of winter with a huge profusion of bright yellow flowers (Gorse flowers are able to self-fertilise themselves without even opening so are able to clone themselves even if no insects around). Secondly, Gorse attracts an array of birds and insects - both for the flowers and also for the birds a secure place for nesting. Finally, Gorse makes a really useful hedging option or a way to stop animals or people getting through. Gorse is so prickly, that collecting my seeds was probably not worth it, and any intruder would rather crawn naked through barbed wire than try and get through a gorse hedge!!
