Each tin contains 20 seed balls, enough to cover 1 metre square in a garden or 3 to 5 medium sized pots (leave at least 10cm between the balls). Each ball contains approximately 75 seeds from all-blue-flowering native wildflower mix bursting with Cornflowers, Forget-me-nots, Meadow cranesbill, Self Heal and Wild Clary. Best scattered in Spring or Autumn.
Did you know that bees see colour in a different way to humans? They respond to blue and ultraviolet light, and this mix is designed to provide an attractive mix of blue wildflowers to help attract our buzzing friends to your balconies and garden beds!
We make the seed balls ourselves from our HQ in North London – from a mixture of UK native 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. All wildflowers are listed by the RHS as ‘Plants for Pollinators’.
