Sympathy Wildflower Seed Ball Gift Bag - Thinking of You

Sympathy gift bag containing native wildflower seed balls – a thoughtful sympathy gift for anyone that has lost a loved one.

Native Wildflower Seed Balls

A carefully selected mix of native wildflower seeds designed specifically to attract bees and butterflies.

There are 10 miniature seed balls embedded with hundreds of seeds per gift bag – 5 of which contain seeds to attract bees, and 5 containing a mixture of mostly purple, pink and blue flowers designed to attract butterflies.

Bee Mix

Each seed ball contains approximately 30 seeds from a mix of Birdsfoot Trefoil, Foxglove, Red Clover, Viper’s Bugloss and Wild Marjoram, plus a sprinkling of pollinator-friendly annuals Chamomile, Cornflower, Corn marigold, and Night-flowering catchfly - all recommended as bee-friendly plants by the Bumblebee Conservation Trust .  

Butterfly Mix

Each seed ball contains approximately 30 seeds from a mix of 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 – recommended by Butterfly Conservation. 

They are handmade in the UK using a mix of clay, peat-free compost, UK native seeds, chilli powder & water.

The seed balls are wrapped in tissue paper sealed with a ‘handmade with love’ sticker and come presented in a natural hessian gift bag. Each bag comes with a gift tag containing growing instructions and a choice of two meaningful messages - ‘Thinking of you' or 'In loving memory'. 

Gift wrapping available.

Instructions

Scatter seed balls, approx. 10cm apart, onto clear (not too overgrown) areas between Spring & Autumn. Also great for pots or borders, they like a sunny/partial sunny position. Plant whole on top of soil and water. Wildflowers grow best in low nutrient soil. If planting in Autumn, cover seed balls over with a thin layer of soil for extra protection. 

Planting in Spring

The annual species will flower the year planted from mid/late spring through summer. The perennial species will flower the following year from spring onwards, along with some of the annuals which should have self seeded from previous season.

Planting in Autumn

Both annuals and perennials will start to germinate from spring onwards of the following year.

For all types of wildflower seed balls, allow the growth to die back after flowering before clearing the area. They will then have the chance to self seed.

Your seed balls can be left alone and once the conditions are right they will start to germinate. To help with germination, from spring onwards (particularly during dry periods), water regularly. Without rain/water the seed bombs will not disperse the seeds preventing growth.

Wildflowers will develop at different times and can take 2-6 weeks to germinate during growing season.
