Seed balls contain peat-free compost (to keep the seeds safe), clay (to shape the balls) & chilli powder (to deter hungry insects and birds).

This is a perennials hardy, native flower mix to be planted between March & November. It is suitable for chalk grassland and low nutrient soil areas with no competition from invasive grasses and weeds. It is ideal for sunny banks, slopes & very well drained borders. Your flowers will establish themselves in their first year, and reach their best in their second or third years, given good growing conditions.

Please note seed mix varieties are subject to availability and flower growth is not guaranteed. Seed mix will cover up to 1m2 per ball.

Remember

Children should be supervised whilst using seed balls.

Wash hands after using seed balls, as they contain chilli powder (to deter bees & insects, whilst growing!).

Seed balls could be a choking hazard & should be kept away from babies, toddlers & small children.
