What is a Seedball?

A ball made from seeds, clay, peat-free compost and chili powder.

Seeds - a mix of seeds for bee-friendly flowers

Clay - holds the ball together and provides protection from birds and insects

Peat-free compost - provides the nutrition

Chili powder - deters slugs and snails from eating the young shoots

How it works

The seeds are encased in a ball with clay, peat-free compost and chili powder which means they're essentially already 'planted'.

So once they are scattered on top of compost or soil (remember to avoid scattering on grass), with water and sunlight, the seeds will start to germinate.

The whole process can take 4-6 weeks.

The plants will begin to establish and the ball will break down and become less visible. 

A beautiful wildflower garden will soon follow!

Flowers included

This tin of seedballs has a mix of the following flowers as recommended by the Bumblebee Conservation Trust as bee-friendly plants:

Birdsfoot Trefoil, Foxglove, Red Clover, Viper’s Bugloss and Wild Marjoram.

There are also a mix of pollinator-friendly annuals:

Chamomile, Cornflower, Corn Marigold, and Night-flowering Catchfly.

How to use Seedballs

This tin contains 20 seedballs which is enough to cover 1 metre square in a garden bed or 3-5 medium sized pots.

1. Throw the balls onto soil or compost in your garden bed or planter.

2. Leave at least 10cm between each ball in a pot or garden bed

3. It really is as simple as that! The seedball has everything it needs to grow and germinate once the ball becomes moist and the temperature is right

When to scatter

Scatter your seedballs in Spring or Autumn.
