Poppy Seedball Box
Beautiful native wildflowers for garden beds and pots, Simply scatter and let nature do the rest!
Wonderfully cute little boxes of 6 native red poppy seed balls, iconic British flowers that are fabulous for bees and butterflies. Perfect as a little gift or a treat for yourself.
Each box (made from 100% recycled card) contains 6 seed balls, plus a little card to explain what the balls are and how to use them. Seed balls are incredibly easy to use – simply scatter on top of soil/compost (no digging or expertise required!) and nature will do the rest! One box will cover 1-2 pots. Use 3 boxes per half square metre in a garden.
Best scattered in the Autumn or Spring. If scattering in Spring we recommend popping the seed balls in the fridge for a couple of weeks first to give them a little cold blast – this aids germination 🙂
