Gift grow your own wildflowers flowers
A super present for people who love wildlife and nature – easy to grow wildflowers that also help bees and butterflies. Each jar contains 8 seed balls to grow beautiful wildflowers in a window box, balcony pot or garden bed. One jar will cover 2-3 pots and are best scattered in the Spring or Autumn.
These cute little jars make wonderful stocking fillers or Secret Santa Christmas gifts.
Seed balls are easy to use and there’s no need to dig, no green thumbs required! Simply scatter on top of soil in a pot or window box or garden bed and let nature take over. Regular watering will help them grow faster.
Each ball contains between 10-100 seeds depending on the variety, brief instructions included on the back of the jar.
Choose from:
Cornflower: Cornflowers are edible. They have a cucumber-like taste. Flowers can be consumed in the form of salad and tea, or used as a garnish. Annual. Height: 90cm Flowers: June to August.
Meadow Buttercup: The tallest and most elegant of our native buttercups, this plant sometimes reaches a height of 90cm. This native winter-green perennial is found on most grazed or cut grasslands throughout Britain, but has a preference for moist soils.
Height: 5-90cm. Scatter: Autumn or Spring. Flowers: April to October.
Corn Chamomile: A cheerful cornfield flower, this lovely annual produces large, daisy-like flowers throughout summer and autumn and is highly attractive to pollinators. Flowers: May to August. Height: up to 50cm
Corn Marigold: A medium height annual plant, its flowers are golden-yellow discs with prominent ray florets. Height: 51-60cm. Scatter: late summer to mid April, but the best results are usually obtained in early spring. Flowers: June to October.
Common Poppy: A bright red flowering annual - hugely popular and often used as a symbol of remembrance. Height: 30-60cm. Flowers: May to July.
Forget Me Not: Short annual with blue-grey flowers occasionally interspersed with pink flowers. Height: 10-40cm. Flowers: April to October.
Forget me nots have been used in the past for their astringent properties. The name Myosotis is derivation of the Latin and Greek for mouse and ears.
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!
Jar Dimensions: Height = 4.0cm, Diameter = 2.8cm
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.
