Wildlife Collection Seed Boxes

Each box contains 6 seed balls, plus a little card insert to explain what the balls are and how to use them.

What’s inside each box?

Bee Box - A mix of native wildflowers that bees love! The mix is designed specifically to attract solitary bees, honey bees and bumblebees. Includes birdsfoot trefoil, foxglove, red Clover, viper’s bugloss and wild marjoram.

Butterfly Box – A pretty collection of mostly purple, pink and blue flowers designed to attract butterflies to our gardens, balconies and window boxes. Uses only flowers recommended by Butterfly Conservation including purple loosestrife, forget-me-not, musk mallow, red campion and yarrow.

Hedgehog Box – A wildflower patch is a fantastic addition in creating a garden that is welcoming for hedgehogs. They not only provide shelter but importantly attract a whole range of delicious insects for hedgehogs to feed on. This mix includes yellow rattle, wild carrot, birdsfoot trefoil, tufted vetch, self heal and poppy.

Bird Box – This careful selection of plants will boost the food supply for a wide range of birds including goldfinches, blue tits, chaffinches, greenfinches, robins, starlings, increasing the number of birds seen in your garden. Whilst in bloom the flowers will attract insects that many birds feed on, while birds will also feed directly on the plants and seeds themselves. Includes corn marigold, poppy, greater knapweed, sheep sorrel, tufted vetch, and wild carrot.

Beetle Box – The ideal mix to attract ladybirds and pollinating beetles, who are really important for our garden ecosystems (did you know that beetles pollinated the first flowers at the time of the dinosaurs!). The mix includes common knapweed, cornflower, cow parsley, field scabious, foxglove, great burnet and yarrow.

Bat Box – Contains a special mix of wildflowers to attract a wide diversity of insects that bats feed on (such as moths), including flowers that release their fragrance in the evening when bats are most active in our gardens. The mix also has plants with a combination of long and short pollen tubes and a range of colours and shapes of flower to maximise the number of insects that they attract. Includes borage, cornflower, corn marigold, evening primrose, night-scented stock and wallflower.

Instructions for Use:

Simply scatter on top of soil or compost and nature will do the rest! One box will cover 1-2 pots. Use 6 boxes per square metre in a garden. Best scattered in Spring or Autumn.
