The best time to plant is Spring and Autumn, but all year round is ok because the clay will protect the seeds until conditions are right for germination.
Give Irish bees a helping hand with these amazing little seedbombs. They provide much needed habitat and food for pollinators. They are made of clay, compost and bee attracting wildflower seeds. Simply throw or drop them into your garden, in the hedgerow on the side of the road, stone walls, unused garden space, anywhere you want a wildflower haven where bees and butterflies will flourish. They are designed to practically grow themselves, no garden tools or skill required – help bring the bees back and inspire a sustainable food system for the future.
Once the right weather conditions arrive for germination our little seedbombs will explode into life and grow into mini wild flower meadow. If it is not the right conditions wildflowers will not germinate and will stay dormant waiting for best conditions. So don’t worry about the time of year!
Great for people who find it hard to garden and small children. Wildflower seeds can change seasonally but your bombs for example will usually include a generous mix of:
| Foxglove Marsh Marigold Red and white Campion Common Poppy Devils Bit Scabious Field Scabious Lady’s Smock Common Knapweed Meadowsweet Ox-eye Daisy Centaury |
Primrose Germander Speedwell Wild Thyme Deep blue Spring Gentian Purple Loosestrife Ragged Robin St Johns Wort Yarrow Selfheal Dwarf Sunflower |
