Thank You Seedball Box
SeedballSay “Thank You” with a colourful seed box packed with bee and butterfly friendly wildflower seeds.
Ideal as table gifts or general thank you gifts, each box contains 6 seed balls to grow beautiful wildflowers in a window box, balcony pot or garden bed. Simple to use, no need for gardening expertise or even a need to dig!
Each seed ball contains approximately 30 UK wildflower seeds from a mix of Cornflower, Red Campion, Oxeye Daisy, Musk Mallow and Meadow Cranesbill. All three boxes include the same seed mix.
A little card is also included to explain what the balls are and how to use them- they’re 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. Please note that this listing includes all three boxes.

Flowers: March to November
Silenus the merry god of the woodlands in Greek mythology, gave his name to Silene dioica. The second part of its scientific name, dioica, means 'two houses', and refers to the fact that each Red Campion plant has flowers of one sex only, so that two plants are needed to make seeds.

In Austria and Germany oxeye daisies were hung inside the house as it was believed they would repel lightning.

Important Information
If you have any questions, please check out the below or get in touch via our contact formWe're devoted to sending our customers quality plants with the best service around. Every plant is backed by our 7-day guarantee, so they arrive in good health.
Our team takes extra steps when prepping plants for transportation, but they're still sensitive to changes, so there may be minor cosmetic issues. We always aim to photograph and disclose any flaws before shipping, but a living creature travelling across the country in a box can take a hot minute to adjust to its new life.
If you have any issues within 7 days of receiving your order, holler at our customer support team on our contact form with your order details and some pics of the issue. After the guarantee has expired, though, we can't refund as we can't guarantee care and environmental factors. If you repot the plant during the 7 days, the guarantee is void.
We have been sending plants up and down the country for many year now and we like to think we have our way down to an art.
We protect the plant from falling out of the soil with tissue paper and tape if needed, then we wrap the plant in corrugated cardboard, and sometimes we protect the leaves with extra tissue paper if required. This is then placed into a box and if there is any empty space, we fill this with void fill to stop the plants moving around inside the box. Sometimes we will write a note on your packing slip to water the plant on arrival, so please look out for this. This is due a freshly watered plant going in a box will not only be soggy, but as the plant is in darkness this can sometimes make the plant unhappy when just freshly watered.
If your plant arrives to you unhappy, please send us a photo of the plant and packaging if relevant straight away, so we can advise you.
