What is a seedball?

A seedball contains a blend of native wildflower seeds, protected in a ball of clay, chilli powder and peat-free compost. They are a wonderful alternative to traditional seeds, that are easier to use and grow; thus perfect for novices and experienced gardeners alike. The seeds have more protection from predators, giving your wildflower garden meadow the best chance to establish and thrive!

Do Seedballs work?

Yes! Each seedball contains approx 30 seeds, and are ideal for creating wildflower beds or planters. The outer clay protects the seedball from being eaten by birds and insects, while the chilli powder deters slugs and snails from eating the young shoots. The peat-free compost provides nutrients as the seeds start to germinate, and slowly the materials in the ball will be naturally disperse, leaving a patch of young plants.

How to plant Seedballs?

Seedballs are incredibly easy to use – no digging required! Autumn or early spring are the ideal times to lay your wildflower garden. Simply scatter onto bare soil or compost, leaving at least 10cm between each ball. Keep well watered, and the seeds will soon start to germinate – it’s that easy! New shoots can be seen in 2-6 weeks, but each type of wildflower will take a different amount of time to come into flower.

Top Tips For Growing Your Wildflower Garden Meadow

• Autumn and early Spring are the best times of year for scattering your wildflower seedballs.
• Seedballs require water to start growing – if it’s been fairly dry you can give them a drenching every day to supplement rainfall.
• Many seeds need a spell of cold weather to trigger the germination process. If scattering in late Spring or Summer, store the seedballs in the fridge for a few weeks prior to scattering.
• Seedballs should be left intact, not broken up.
• Avoid touching seedballs once they have been watered, as this could cause damage to any new growth inside.
• Wildflower growth can be slow, so patience is key. Different varieties will grow and flower at different rates. As the wildflowers establish, you should see year-on-year improvement with minimal maintenance.
• Young wildflower growth can be easily mistaken for weeds, so be careful whilst weeding and ensure you are selective about what you remove!

Precautions

Not for consumption, keep away from children and pets. Store in a cool, dry place.
