Each tin contains 20 wildflower seed balls - made from a mix of British wildflower seeds, peat-free compost, clay and chilli powder rolled into a protective ball. Simple and fun to use - scatter on top of soil or compost, water and nature will take care of the rest. No gardening expertise or digging required :) Together the tins will cover two square metres in a garden bed or 5-10 pots.
Love Tin: An all-blue-flowering native wildflower mix bursting with Cornflowers, Forget-me-nots, Meadow Cranesbill, Self Heal and Wild Clary.
Bees Tin: A mix of native wildflowers that bees will just love! This carefully selected mix is designed specifically to attract solitary bees, honey bees and bumblebees. Each seed ball contains approximately 30 seeds from a mix of Birdsfoot Trefoil, Foxglove, Red Clover, Viper’s Bugloss and Wild Marjoram – all recommended as bee-friendly plants by the Bumblebee Conservation Trust.
Wildflowers are naturally slow to grow and the balls can take 2-4 weeks to begin to sprout. Some will flower in the first year and others may not flower until the second year, but the display should keep getting better each year :) The more they are initially watered the quicker they will be to start to grow, although they will be ok to leave them to the rain to water them as well :)
Tins are made by the last tin can maker of London with a help of a solar farm on the factory roof. The seeds are UK sourced and grown without the use of chemicals/pesticides.
