Product description
Stunning set of three wildflower Seedball tins created in collaboration with Scientists at the Natural History Museum to attract and support important garden wildlife.
Bird Mix
Designed to feed the birds for you, and is a much more sustainable option to buying bagged bird feed! The careful selection of plants will boost the food supply for a wide range of birds including goldfinches, blue tits, chaffinches, greenfinches, robins, starlings, increasing the number of birds seen in your garden. Whilst in bloom the flowers will attract insects that many birds feed on, while birds will also feed directly on the plants and seeds themselves. Mix includes poppy, corn marigold, greater knapweed, sheep sorrel, tufted vetch and wild carrot.
Bat Mix
Bat Mix contains a special mix of wildflowers to attract a wide diversity of insects that bats feed on, including flowers that release their fragrance in the evening when bats are most active in our gardens. The mix also has a plants with a combination of long and short pollen tubes and a range of colours and shapes of flower to maximise the number of insects that they attract.
Includes borage, cornflower, corn marigold, evening primrose, wallflower and night-scented stock.
Beetle Mix
About a quarter of the UK’s beetles are pollinators, feeding on nectar and then transporting pollen on their legs. They love open faced flowers and those with multiple flower heads – making our mix of flowers perfect for beetles! Our beetle mix includes common knapweed, cornflower, cow parsley, field scabious, foxglove, great burnet and yarrow.
Perfect as an eco friendly gardening gift, mother's day present, or as a treat for yourself!
Overview
Made in Britain
Dimensions
Each tin is 6.4cm in diameter and 2.4cm high, and contains 20 seed balls, enough for a square metre in a garden bed or 3-5 medium sized pots.
Made from
We make the seedballs 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 flourish in the rain too.
