Each seed ball contains approximately 30 wildflower seeds for wildlife from a mix of Cornflower, Red Campion, Meadow Cranesbill, Oxeye Daisy and Musk Mallow. Each box includes instructions explaining what the balls are and how they work.
They’re incredibly easy to use – simply scatter on top of soil/compost (no digging or expertise required!) and nature will do the rest.
Please note that this listing includes three boxes.
Each box (made from 100% recycled card) contains 6 seed balls, plus a little card to explain what the balls are and how to use them. Seed balls are incredibly easy to use – simply scatter on top of soil/compost (no digging or expertise required!) and nature will do the rest! One box will cover 1-2 pots. Use 3 boxes per half square metre in a garden.
Best scattered in the Autumn or Spring. If scattering in Spring we recommend popping the seed balls in the fridge for a couple of weeks first to give them a little cold blast – this aids germination 🙂
See our FAQ page for more details on how to get the best from your seed balls.
Common Toadflax (Linaria vulgaris)
Perennial.

There is an old belief that when you walk around the flower three times it will remove any spells that have been cast on you!
Cornflower (Centaurea cyanus)
Annual.

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.
Cowslip (Primula veris)
Perennial.
Height: 20-30cm
Scatter: Late summer or autumn

The origin of the name cowslip is unclear, but it may derive from the fact that it grows in meadows well manured by cow dung or cow slips.
Meadow Cranesbill (Geranium pratense)
Perennial.
Height: 30-70cm
Flowers: June to September
The large purple flowers of Meadow cranesbill turn into pointed, bill-like seed pods that give the plant its common name.

Description: A tall perennial with large rose pink petals.

The plant is cultivated for its seeds, which are used in perfumes. The plant also yields a fibre that can be used for clarifying sugar.
Oxeye Daisy (Leucanthemum vulgare)

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.
