About this product

Description

Create a stunning wildflower patch with our bee and butterfly-friendly Seedball Collection, featuring Poppy, Cornflower, Oxeye Daisy, Red Campion, and Forget-Me-Not seed balls. These seed balls are perfect for attracting bees, butterflies, and other pollinators to a garden, balcony, or window box.

Each beautifully illustrated tube contains 20 seed balls, easy to scatter with no digging required. Simply place them in soil, compost, or a garden bed, leaving 10cm between each ball and water well. Made with clay, peat-free compost and chili powder to protect seeds from predators, these eco-friendly seed balls are a thoughtful and sustainable gift, to create a vibrant, buzzing garden!

Variations

The set includes one of each variety, with each tube containing 20 balls. One tube of seed balls will cover 1 square metre in a garden bed or 3-5 medium sized pots (leave at least 10cm between each ball). Scatter anytime from early Autumn through to the end of Spring.

Made from

We only use wildflowers included on the RHS 'Plants for Pollinators' list. Instructions are included on the back of each tube.

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 :)

Wildflower seed balls (or seed bombs as some people call them) are ideal for gifting, as the person you're giving them to doesn't need to have much outdoor space or gardening knowledge to use them. Easy to split the set to gift to multiple family members, friends or colleagues, and they'll be loved by anyone who loves bees, wildlife gardening and eco-friendly gifts.
