Samphire Seeds
Delivered in 3-5 days
For an authentic taste of the coast, grow your own Samphire seeds. These vegetable plants are grown for their crisp, juicy stems and fresh, salty flavour. Samphire, or Salicornia europea, also known as Marsh Samphire or Common Glasswort, is a gourmet ingredient that pairs best with seafood and light summer dishes.
These vegetable seeds thrive in well-drained, sandy soil with occasional saltwater to replicate their natural environment. Sow in spring and keep the soil moist for the best results. Germination can be irregular, but once established, samphire requires little maintenance apart from regular watering and full sun. Harvest when the stems are young and tender, around 10cm (4in) long, for the best texture and flavour. Enjoy it lightly steamed, stir-fried, or fresh in salads, and grow alongside herb plants for other fresh flavours and Pak Choi seeds for another way to make your salads more interesting.
Samphire is not often found outside coastal areas, but it can be cultivated at home with the right growing conditions. Order Samphire seeds today from D.T. Brown and enjoy this unique, homegrown delicacy.
