Introducing Seedballs - a simpler way to grow from seed!  Give someone the gift of growing wildflowers for their borders, pots or windowboxes.  A lovely idea for an eco friendly stocking filler.
 
This carefully selected seed mix is designed to attract a whole range of tasty insects for hedgehogs to feed on, helping to support the biodiversity and ecosystem of your garden.  Each seed ball contains approximately 30 seeds from a mix of Yellow Rattle, Wild Carrot, Birdsfoot Trefoil, Tufted Vetch, Self Heal and Poppy.
 
Each tin contains 20 seed balls which will cover 1 square metre in a garden bed or 3-5 medium sized pots (leave at least 10cm between each ball). Best scattered in Spring or Autumn.
 
How Seedballs work
No need to dig! As the wildflower seeds are encased in clay and peat-free compost, they are essentially already “planted”. Simply scatter onto bare soil or compost (avoid scattering on grass) on a garden bed or in a pot, leaving at least 10cm between each ball. The outer clay helps to prevent birds and insects from eating the seeds, keeping the seeds nicely protected and ensuring your wildflower garden has every chance of growing success.
 
With rain (or watering) and enough sun and warmth, the wildflower seeds inside the ball will start to germinate and little sprouts will begin to appear from the ball. This process can take 4-6 weeks from scattering. Chilli powder has been added to the Seedball recipe to help deter slugs and snails from eating the young shoots.
