Each seed ball contains approximately 30 wildflower seeds which are flowers that have all been recommended by Butterfly Conservation, these include:

  • Forget-me-not ((Myosotis arvensis)
    Short annual with blue-grey flowers occasionally interspersed with pink flowers.
    Height: 10-40cm
    Flowers: April to October

  • Musk Mallow (malva moschata)
    A tall perennial with large rose pink petals.
    Height: 40-70cm
    Flowers: June to August

  • Purple Loosestrife (Lythrum salicaria)
    A tall perennial with a spectacular spike of magenta flowers.
    Height: up to 150cm
    Flowers: June to August

  • Red Campion (Silene dioica)
    A perennial with rose pink petals.

  • Yarrow (Achillea millefolium)

    Height: 8-60cm
    Flowers: June to August

There is also a sprinkling of pollinator-friendly annuals Chamomile, Cornflower, Corn marigold, and Night-flowering catchfly.

Each ball is made from seeds, clay, peat-free compost and chili powder. The ball stops the seeds from being a treat for birds and insects, thereby increasing the chances of your flowers growing. They’re very easy to use with no digging required.

Instructions for Use:

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!
