Wildflower seed balls and botanical gifts, hand-rolled in Worthing. Plant them, watch them bloom, and give pollinators their favourite snacks — year after year.
Sussex Seed Balls is an independent company hand-rolling small-batch wildflower seed balls and botanical gifts, in partnership with some wonderful Worthing brands.
Our dream is to see every centimetre of our gardens, grasslands, green spaces and great landscapes teeming with wildflowers — so that pollinators always have their favourite snacks whenever they need them.
Imagine growing a selection of Highdown Garden’s wildflower favourites in your own borders. Read the story behind our first heritage seed ball collaboration — and discover which flowers made the cut.
As with planting times, the last frost date is different across each county and depends on several different elements such as landscape and elevation. However you can find a general indication of the last frost date where you live using this plant map (developed by the kind and clever people at plantmaps.com)
When’s the best time to plant my seed balls?
Generally you can plant our seed balls between March (after the last frost) and November. Plant later in the year and the seeds will stay warm and cosy underground before germinating in spring.
What’s in the wildflower mix?
Our general mix includes both perennials and annuals — so you’ll see quick colour early on, with more flowers over time. Within three years you’ll have a full show that returns year after year. Varieties include Meadow Buttercup, Cornflower, Cowslip and Field Forget-me-not.
How do I choose the right soil mix?
We have mixes for every ground: Claggy Clay, Enchanting Chalk, Woodland Wonder (shade), Sand Dune (dry), plus an all-soils blend and a hand-picked mix that’s perfectly safe for pets. Not sure? Start with “Wild At Heart” — it thrives almost anywhere.
Are your seed balls really plastic-free?
Yes. Everything is hand-rolled in small batches and sent in recyclable, plastic-free packaging — all made and posted from Worthing.
