Container vegetable seeds for pots and balconies

No garden? No problem. Plenty of vegetables grow happily in pots, troughs and window boxes — from compact cherry tomatoes and patio peppers to fast salad leaves and crunchy radishes. With a sunny spot and a big enough pot, a balcony or patio can keep you in fresh veg all summer.

New to growing veg? Our guide covers sowing, feeding and watering for a good crop.

The best vegetables for containers

Choose compact, fast or cut-and-come-again crops: cherry tomatoes, sweet peppers and chillies love a warm patio, while leafy salads, radishes and quick salad mixes crop in weeks. Even a tray of microgreens gives a harvest on a windowsill.

Keeping container crops happy

Pots dry out fast, so water often and feed regularly through summer, as the compost soon runs out of nutrients. Grow herbs and flowers in pots too — see our container-friendly herbs and container-friendly flowers, or browse all vegetable seeds.

Keep the whole pot collection going — fragrant herbs by the kitchen door and colour for the balcony rail.

Popular container vegetables

At SeedsChoice, every order ships from Meppel, NL with fast EU delivery.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which vegetables grow best in pots?
Compact and fast crops do best — cherry tomatoes, peppers, salad leaves, radishes, spring onions and herbs all crop well in containers.
How big a pot do I need?
Salad leaves and radishes are happy in shallow troughs, while tomatoes and peppers want a larger pot of around 20 to 30 litres.
How often should I water and feed?
Pots dry out fast, so water often in summer and feed every week or two, as the compost quickly runs out of nutrients.
Can I really grow veg on a balcony?
Yes — a sunny balcony or patio with a few good-sized pots can keep you in fresh vegetables all season.
Do you ship across the EU?
Yes, orders ship from Meppel in the Netherlands with fast EU delivery, and the final shipping cost is shown at checkout.
