Pair this with a seedball tin stuffed with native wildflower seeds designed to support our pollinators and wildlife, and add colour and beauty to your loved one’s garden, balcony or patio containers. Choose from the following tins:
Bat Mix: Many British bat species are struggling, so if your giftee is a fan of these fluttering friends, this might just be the perfect gift to entice them into their garden. The wildflowers in this tin attract a banquet for bats in the shape of insects, and many of the flowers release their fragrance in the evening too - perfect as a gift if your friend is more of a night owl than an early bird. This tin combines seeds for Borage, Cornflower, Corn Marigold, Evening Primrose, Wallflower and Night-Scented Stock.
Butterfly Mix: If your loved one would love nothing more than welcoming beautiful butterflies to their garden, this might just be the perfect gift set component for them. Designed to attract butterflies, these flowers are all recommended by Butterfly Conservation and are mostly in shades of purple, pink and blue. This tin contains seeds for Purple Loosestrife, Forget-me-not, Musk mallow, Red campion and Yarrow, plus a sprinkling of pollinator-friendly annuals Chamomile, Cornflower, Corn marigold, and Night-flowering Catchfly.
Bee Mix: A mix perfect for attracting bees, be they honeybees, solitary bees or bumblebees, and adding to the biodiversity of the garden. Containing seeds for Birdsfoot Trefoil, Foxglove, Red Clover, Viper’s Bugloss and Wild Marjoram, this is a great gift addition for bee lovers.
Hedgehog Mix: This mix is designed to attract a range of insects to your garden all to the purpose of putting on a banquet for the local hedgehogs. Containing seeds for Yellow Rattle, Wild Carrot, Birdsfoot Trefoil, Tufted Vetch, Self Heal and Poppy, this mix is the perfect addition to a gift set for anyone who loves their native wildlife.
Bird Mix: Many common bird species are in decline in our gardens, and rather than putting out a feeder full of shop-bought seeds, did you know you can supply a fantastic mix of food for birds by planting the right native wildflowers in your garden? It’s more sustainable and more beautiful, and boosts the food supply for a range of species of birds - both by attracting insects that birds feed on when the flowers are in bloom, and by producing seeds for the birds once they have finished blooming. Each tin contains seeds for Corn Marigold, Common Poppy, Greater Knapweed, Sheep Sorrel, Tufted Vetch and Wild Carrot.
Sky Meadow Mix: This mix of blue flowers is the perfect colour to attract bees, who respond to blue and ultraviolet light when on the hunt for pollen. With this gift you can not only treat your friend to a bee-friendly garden but also match it to their favourite colour, if their favourite colour is blue. This sky-hued combination is made up of seeds for Cornflower, Forget-me-not, Meadow Cranesbill, Self Heal and Wild Clary.
Shade Mix: Perfect for those spots where trees shade the garden, or for balconies or window boxes shaded by the building, this mix is chock full of seeds which love those shady spots - and which are great for pollinators too. This tin contains a colourful mix of Bellflower, Forget-me-not, Meadow Buttercup, Meadowsweet, Oxeye Daisy, Ragged Robin and Red Campion.
Cloud Meadow Mix: This selection of all-white flowers will bring clouds of gorgeous gleaming foliage, with the bonus of not clashing with existing planting schemes. These flowers are all native British species and beneficial to bees and especially butterflies. The seeds contained in this tin are for Meadowsweet, Oxeye Daisy, White Campion, White Clover, and Yarrow.
Artist Meadow Mix: This selection, chosen by contemporary artist Yvonne Coomber, is inspired by the view from her studio and decorated with a section of her painting ‘Here Is Where All The Wildflowers Grow’. It contains seeds for Poppies, Oxeye Daisies, Musk Mallow, Corn Marigold, Field Scabious, Red Campion and Cow Parsley. Choose this mix for a truly beautiful gift set combination.
Beetle Mix: Attract ladybirds and pollinating beetles with this bright bundle of blooming beauties. Beetles are super important for our garden ecosystems, and the flowers contained in this tin are the perfect selection for tempting beetly friends into the garden. This tin contains seeds for Common Knapweed, Cornflower, Cow Parsley, Field Scabious, Foxglove, Great Burnet and Yarrow.
Short-Haired Bumblebee Mix: This tin is geared specifically towards wildflowers that are favourites of one of the most endangered British bumblebees, the short-haired bumblebee. It was declared extinct in 2000 but a reintroduction process has been happening in Southern England since 2011; the flowers in this tin will be loved by this bee and other more common species too. It contains seeds for Cornflower, Red Campion, Oxeye Daisy, Wild Marjoram, Viper’s Bugloss, Red Clover, and Birdsfoot Trefoil.
Shrill Carder Bumblebee Mix: Another rare bee, the shrill carder bumblebee is only found in a few locations in South Wales and Southern England. Make your garden, window box or balcony friendly to this rare bee as well as many of its pollinator friends with a mix of seeds for the following flowers: Common Knapweed, Great Burnet, Cowslip, Self Heal, Meadowsweet, Birdsfoot Trefoil, and Buttercup.
Great Yellow Bumblebee Mix: The distribution of great yellow bumblebees in the wild has declined by 80% in the last half-century, and they are now only found in the Scottish Highlands and Islands. This seed mix is made up of some of their favourite flowers, and will be popular amongst other pollinators too. Choose this mix to welcome these bumblebees and their pollinator friends to your garden, window box or balcony. And why not pair it with a keyring of the great yellow bumblebee? This mix is made up of seeds for Forget-me-not, Corn Marigold, White Campion, Birdsfoot Trefoil, Cornflower, Poppy, and Chamomile.
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.
Online orders are packed and dispatched within a few days. Usually depending on volumes, we aim to get your order dispatched within 1 working day. We have collections from Royal Mail 6 days a week so deliveries tend to be speedy.
