About this product

Description

Each tin contains 5 seed balls, with each ball 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.

Wildflower seed balls (or 'seed bombs' as they are sometimes called) are brilliant for gifting, as you don't need to have much outdoor space or gardening knowledge to use them (or you could have lots of both!). Easy to split the set to gift to multiple family members, friends, children / kids, teachers or colleagues, and they'll be loved by anyone who loves bees, wildlife gardening and eco-friendly gifts.

They will work well in garden beds, window boxes and balcony pots. One tin will cover 1-2 pots, leave at least 10cm bewtween 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

The set includes 6 tins, one of each colour design. Each ball contains appoximately 30 seeds from a mix of Cornflower, Red Campion, Meadow Cranesbill, Oxeye Daisy and Musk Mallow, all of which are included on the RHS 'Plants for Pollinators' List.

See image reel for pictures of the plants in flower :)

Made from

We make the balls at our Seedball workshop 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 breaks down 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 while the perennial species 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.

Dimensions

Seed Tin Dimensions: Each is 3.6cm (diameter) x 1.6cm (depth). Each ball is 1cm diameter, and each tin will cover 1-2 pots (leave 10cm between each ball when scattering).
