Can I tale seeds back to UK?

Anyone know if I can take small quantity of pre packed seeds of winged beans, chillies, Thai Basil, and egg plants back to the UK?

Order what you want online and have them delivered, if they are legal, to your UK address!

All problems solved!

It is all right taking them back to the UK, but will they grow, they are tropical plants, and will need a greenhouse to grow them in, if it is a hot UK summer you might be able to grow them outside.

But Basil and Chiles are continuous grows, and will die in a UK winter.

It's OK. I have a conservatory to grow them in. I plant to grow the again each spring from seeds they make. 

 

I was worried the customs would fine me if they see some packets of seeds in my suitcase. 

 

I can't get the Thai Basil in the UK, or the winged beans. And the price of the chilli peppers mad...so I though I would grown them myself.

Just take them back... the worst that happens is customs take them off you... but I don't think they would....
