About this product

Description

"Bee Merry", "Oh Christmas Bee" and "Hap-bee" sweet little tins, each containing 5 seed balls – cute and festive wildflower gifts for loved ones, friends, family and teachers and ideal for stocking fillers or Secret Santa gifts. The set includes one tin of each design.

Each ball is made from UK native wildflower seeds, clay, peat-free compost and chilli powder, which together help to protect the seeds during early growth. They’re incredibly easy to use – simply scatter on top of soil or compost (no digging required!), water well (to help initiate growth) and nature will do the rest.

They will work well in garden beds, window boxes and balcony pots. One tin will cover 1-2 pots, leave at least 10cm between each ball. Instructions included on tin base.

Scatter anytime from early Autumn through to the end of Spring, wildflower seeds love a chilly spell!

Variations

Each tin contains 5 seed balls (or seed bombs as they can sometimes be called), each with approximately 30 wildlife-friendly wildflower seeds from a mix of Common Toadflax, Cornflower, Cowslip, Meadow Cranesbill, Musk Mallow, Oxeye Daisy and Red campion. See image reel for pictures of the plants in flower :)

The set includes one each of all three festive messages.

Made from

We make the balls at our Seedball factory in London, from a mixture of UK wildflower seeds, clay, peat-free compost and chilli powder.

The outer clay protects the seeds from ants, birds and mice, and once sufficient water has permeated the clay, the seeds inside begin to germinate - helped along by the nutrients and minerals contained within the ball. The chilli powder continues to deter slugs and snails while the seed ball slowly degrades and the seeds sprout.

Wildflowers are naturally slow to grow and the balls can take 2-4 weeks to begin to sprout. Some will flower in the first year and others may not flower until the second year, but the display should keep getting better each year! The more they are initially watered, the quicker they will be to start to grow, although they will be ok to leave them to the rain to water them as well :)

The tins are 100% recyclable.
