'Happy Birthday' bee and butterfly mix seedballs
Say “Happy Birthday” with a colourful seed box packed with bee and butterfly friendly wildflower seeds.
Each box contains 6 seed balls to grow beautiful wildflowers in a window box, balcony pot or garden bed. Simple to use, no need for gardening expertise or even a need to dig!
Each seed ball contains approximately 30 UK wildflower seeds from a mix of Cornflower, Red Campion, Oxeye Daisy, Musk Mallow and Meadow Cranesbill. All three boxes include the same seed mix.
A little card is also included to explain what the balls are and how to use them- they’re incredibly easy to use – simply scatter on top of soil/compost (no digging or expertise required!) and nature will do the rest.
Seed mix
Cornflower (Centaurea cyanus)
Annual.
Height: 90cm

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.
Red Campion (Silene dioica)
A perennial with rose pink petals.
Height: 20-60cm
Flowers: March to November
Silenus the merry god of the woodlands in Greek mythology, gave his name to Silene dioica. The second part of its scientific name, dioica, means 'two houses', and refers to the fact that each Red Campion plant has flowers of one sex only, so that two plants are needed to make seeds.
Oxeye Daisy (Leucanthemum vulgare)
Perennial.
Height: 30-90cm
Flowers: May to September
In Austria and Germany oxeye daisies were hung inside the house as it was believed they would repel lightning.

Emily & Ana are the creators of Seedball – they want to fill the world with wildflowers.
They 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) together, we can have a hugely beneficial impact on our local ecosystems. 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.

What is a Seedball?
A ball made from seeds, clay, peat-free compost and chili powder.
Why use Seedballs?
The ball prevents the seeds from being a tasty lunch for birds and insects, thereby increasing the chances of your flowers growing. Plus they’re super easy to use, no digging and no expert knowledge needed!
What's in the box?
There are 6 balls in each box, and around 30 seeds per ball.
How do I use Seedballs?
Throw onto soil or compost in a garden bed or planter in Spring or Autumn, leaving at least 10cm between each ball. Your Seedball has everything it needs to grow and, once the ball becomes moist and the temperature is right, your seeds will germinate!
What area will my Seedballs cover?
We would usually advise 20 seed balls per square metre, or 3-5 seed balls for a 35cm container.
Conservation
All seed is responsibly sourced in the UK from Flora Locale accredited suppliers, and only ever use peat-free compost.
