Cornflower Wildflower Seedball Box

£3.25
Description

Beautiful native wildflowers for garden beds & pots, simply scatter & let nature do the rest!

Brilliantly blue British cornflowers. These iconic and distinctive flowers are fantastic for bees, beetles, butterflies and moths, and are a simply marvellous addition to any wildlife garden. They are also edible with a cucumber-like taste, and can be used in salads, as a garnish or infused as a tea!

Each box (made from 100% recycled card) contains 6 seed balls each with approximately 8 wildlife-friendly wildflower seeds to grow beautiful cornflowers. These make for lovely gardening gifts, bee and butterfly gifts, eco friendly gifts or mother’s day gifts. They will work well in window boxes, balcony pots, garden beds and wildlife gardens. It’s time to rewild!

Created by conservation scientists and 100% British made, Seedball is a unique innovation to help more people grow bee and butterfly-friendly wildflowers. They are manufactured in-house using a mixture of UK-native seeds, clay, peat-free compost and chilli powder to create a protective casing against seed predators (e.g. birds and ants).

They’re incredibly easy to use - scatter (no digging!) on top of soil, and with rain and warm sun, the seeds will grow!

One box will cover 1-2 pots (leave at least 10cm between each ball). Use 3 boxes per half square metre in a garden.

A little card is also included to explain what the balls are and how to use them, making them wonderful gifts.

    Size: 5.8cm x 3.7cm x 1.5cm (small matchbox)

    Best scattered in Spring or Autumn.  If scattering in Spring we recommend popping the seed balls in the fridge for a couple of weeks first to give them a little cold blast – this aids germination.

    The last 50 years has been witness to huge declines in pollinators and other garden wildlife, but together we can really really do something to reverse this. 

    97% of natural bee and butterfly habitat has been lost in the UK since WW2. 97%. Ninety Seven Percent. It's frightening and critical. 

    With your help, we can start to restore the lost wildflower habitat and make an important contribution to the biodiversity of Great Britain 🌻

     

    Emily & Ana, the creators of Seedball, are on a mission to help increase the abundance of British wildflowers and wildlife that depend upon them. They believe that if we can all better use whatever space we have available to us (whether a back garden, balcony, window box, little patio etc) we can together have a hugely beneficial impact on our local ecosystems.

    They want Seedball to inspire a wildlife gardening revolution while providing a very handy way of going about it! Conservation is in the heart and soul of Seedball and one day we dream to fund their own Seedball wildflower reserves.
