This colourful set of seed boxes packed with bee friendly wildflower seeds is the perfect gift for eco-friendly garden lovers. The boxes are the size of an old small matchbox and each contain 6 seed balls to grow beautiful wildflowers in a window box, balcony pot or garden bed. One box will cover 1-2 pots. Each box contains a different bee friendly wildflower mix (see below for details), with each seed ball containing approximately 30 seeds:
Green - Includes Birdsfoot Trefoil, Red Clover, Viper’s Bugloss and Wild Marjoram – all recommended as bee-friendly plants by the Bumblebee Conservation Trust.
Pink - A mix of Meadow buttercup, Oxeye daisy, Red clover, Self heal and Yarrow.
Teal - A mix of Common toadflax, Cornflower, Cowslip, Meadow cranesbill, Musk mallow, Oxeye daisy and Red campion.
A little card is 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.
They are also much more sustainable option to buying bagged bird feed and the careful selection of plants will boost the food supply for a wide range of garden visitors. The balls are made from seeds, clay, peat-free compost and chili powder to prevent the seeds from being a tasty lunch for birds and insects, thereby increasing the chances of your flowers growing. Plus, no digging and no expert knowledge needed.
Best scattered in the Autumn or Spring.

Emily and Ana – Founders of Seedball, a non-profit company – are on a mission to fill our gardens with Wildflowers. After studying conservation and recognising the huge decline of pollinators and garden wildlife over the last 50 years, Emily and Ana wanted to find a way to increase British Wildflowers and help people grow flowers in any space they have free – even in window boxes! Seedball have an innovative coating, making the planting process easy and protecting the seeds from any birds or inspects. Once they flower, they provide an important home for an abundance of garden wildlife.
