Great Yellow Bumblebee Mix

This tin is part of a set launched to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the very first Seedball tin, introduced in 2013. At Seedball, our mission is to inspire more people to grow wildflowers for pollinators in their gardens. As part of our anniversary celebration, we created these tins to raise awareness of three declining British bee species and emphasise the importance of scattering seed balls to support them!

The Great Yellow Bumblebee Mix highlights the plight of one of the UK’s rarest bumblebees. The Great Yellow Bumblebee’s distribution has declined by 80% in the last 50 years, now only found in the Scottish Highlands and Islands. This seed mix is specially designed to support their survival with seven bee-friendly wildflowers: Forget-me-not, Corn Marigold, White Campion, Birdsfoot Trefoil, Cornflower, Poppy, and Chamomile.

Each tin contains 20 seed balls, each packed with around 30 bumblebee-friendly wildflower seeds. These make for a lovely eco-friendly gardening gift, bee and butterfly present and they’re the perfect sustainable gift for nature lovers. They are perfect for window boxes, balcony pots, garden beds, and wildlife gardens.

It’s time to rewild!

What's included in this mix?

Each tin has 20 seed balls. They’re really easy to use, simply scatter on top of soil in a garden bed or planter. One tin of seed bombs 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. See our FAQ page for more details on how to get the best from your seed balls.

What are Seedballs? How do they work?

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 tin?

There are 20 balls in each tin, 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, we only ever use peat-free compost and our steel tins are manufactured in London (with the help of a solar farm on the factory roof).
