I bought these as a gift so no idea if they have been planted or grew but the idea and packaging was simply gorgeous and made an ideal gift for a garden or insect lover. They were a unique gift. Would definitely buy agai
Bought as a gift for my daughters tween friend. She’s obsessed with saving the bees and adored these. Nice idea that each coloured box has a different seed meix of bee friendly plants. I did think they were a little over priced though which is why they got 4 stars
What a beautiful set of 3 seed balls by SEEDBALL! I recently purchased the bee friendly wildflower seed balls and I am extremely happy with my purchase. The seed balls are a unique and eco-friendly way to add beautiful wildflowers to my garden, and they are incredibly easy to use.
One of the things I appreciate most about these seed balls is that they are specifically designed to attract and support bees. Bees are essential to the health of our environment and it is important to do what we can to support them. The seed balls are made with a mixture of wildflower seeds that are known to be attractive to bees, and they are also coated with a clay mixture that helps to protect the seeds and encourage germination.
Since planting the seed balls, I have been amazed at the variety of wildflowers that have grown in my garden. The seed balls have been a great way to add a splash of colour and beauty to my outdoor space, and they have also attracted a wide variety of bees and other pollinators.
Overall, I am extremely satisfied with my purchase and would highly recommend the bee friendly wildflower seed balls to anyone looking to add a touch of beauty and support bees in their outdoor space. They are easy to use, eco-friendly, and provide excellent results. 5 stars and would make for a nice gift too!
Thank you for reading my honest review, I hope you found it helpful! 🙂
There’s never any conformity with wildflowers, they just do their own thing. I love that about them to be honest and am looking forward to seeing if I get some good results from these or just dandelions.
These little seed packs are easy to use and come in cardboard boxes that look a little bit like matchbox.
They are quite small and each box has a slightly different mix. They are a bit bigger than the size of peanuts. I thought it was clever that chilli had been used (from my understanding) as a slug deterrent.
The ground is too frozen at the moment to scatter these, so I can’t observe any growth yet. They have a nice handmade-gift quality to them, they seem less generic and more personal as a gift.
Having a look, I can see seeds in the pellets but it doesn’t seem like there are a lot in each one.
Probably best to keep away from young kids as they do look a bit like chocolate.
Don’t answers yet they are going in homemade xmas crackers
These are such a cute and quirky idea.
Each of the three boxes should contain 6 seed balls – unfortunately one of mine only contained 3. Upon contacting the company to let them know, they offered to send a replacement so I couldn’t have hoped for better customer service.
The wildflower seed balls include chilli powder to help prevent them being eaten by birds.
Each set contains different flowers so if they all grow they are going to be a gorgeous addition to the ‘wild’ part of our garden.
The instructions are included but basically they just need scattering onto bare soil, as long as it’s the right type of soil. This is explained in the leaflet enclosed. They need plenty of water too.
I wouldn’t buy these as an alternative to packet seeds for myself, but I would buy them to gift to keen gardeners.
Inside a small, plain box, you get three matchboxes that contain seed balls. These are protected with chilli powder from being eaten by insects or birds. Each box contains different seeds. It’s difficult to know how many seeds you actually get in this pack.
You get a page of instructions explaining conditions the seeds need to grow in, however it doesn’t suggest when to plant them. It just says if you’re doing it in summer you might need to put them in the fridge for a while. it says to scatter them on bare soil, and they may take 2 to 4 weeks to grow. There is also a disclaimer which says growth can be slow in the first few months.
I’m wondering if this is because these aren’t very exciting for children if they get them at the ‘wrong’ time of year for planting.
As I understand it, the best time to plant wildflower seeds is early spring, in March, for them to flower in early autumn, or late summer, in July, for them to flower in the spring.
The green box contains birdsfoot trefoil, red clover, cornflower, wild marjoram and viper’s bugloss.
The blue box contains cornflower, cowslip, meadow cranesbill, musk mallow, oxeye daisy and red campion.
The red box contains meadow butter cup, self heal, oxide daisy, yellow and red clover.
These do make a nice gift but I think I’d probably just give them in spring and summer so they could be planted with a good chance of growing. Given that I have only just received these, I can’t comment on how successful the seeds are.
A tenner is quite a lot for a few seeds, but I guess it does make an attractive stocking filler.
Wild flowers are a great addition to any garden- we wanted these so we could create a patch of wild flowers in our garden which in turn may encourage nature.
These come in a set of three almost matchstick stile boxes- brightly coloured with the bee designs with the three types of seed all inside. The idea is they are clay encapsulated seeds so you can just disperse them on the soil and wait for them to do their thing over time. Having got these in person, I thought the design and packaging was so nice they would make a great gift, either for one person or over lots of friends. They look great, the seed balls are easy ti use and plant, and although we don’t know the results yet all has been easy to use and understand so far. These would be great for gardens with children so they can be a part of the process and understand how planting in this way can improve life for the local wildlife and ecosystem. A great find!
Autumn is apparently the best time to scatter these seed balls, yet the instructions included with the boxes don’t tell you that, only mentioning what to do if you plant in spring or early summer (put them in the fridge first). You don’t need to do much preparation, just place the seed balls 10cm apart on plain soil, not grass. Then you just need to leave them to germinate, just ensuring they get regular water.
I have planted mine in pots so I can keep an eye on progress. I already have lots of wildflowers in my rented garden, so I want to make sure I can tell the difference between existing stock and the new flowers.
The seed balls are prettily presented in matchboxes with an image of a bee on the cover. A list of the wildflower seeds is on the side of each box and include cowslips, cornflowers, buttercups and oxeye daisies amongst others. A good project to do with youngsters and hopefully the chilli content of the seed balls will ensure slugs don’t come close and the resultant crop of flowers will encourage bees.
Three boxes of seed balls, suitable to attract bees to feed on the plants that will grow.
You get three matchbox size boxes, decorated with a different colour bee, each with six seed balls inside. Each box contains a different bee friendly wildflower seed mix. Green Bee Mix includes Bird’s-Foot Trefoil, Red Clover, Viper’s-Bugloss and Wild Marjoram. Pink Bee Mix contains Meadow Buttercup, Oxeye Daisy, Red Clover, Selfheal and Yarrow. Finally, Teal Bee Mix offers a mix of Common Toadflax, Cornflower, Cowslip, Meadow Crane’s-Bill, Musk Mallow, Oxeye daisy and Red Campion. And because of the type of plants, some won’t flower till the following year, so be patient. The seed balls are made with clay and chilli powder, to protect the seeds from predators, like birds slugs and snails, increasing the chances of the young plants growing. This I didn’t know about chilli powder, slugs and snails hate it, so I’ll be using it myself in the garden, as long as the hedgehog doesn’t mind it.
Just scatter the balls in your garden or plant in pots, and water them in, the clay will then break down and the seeds will grow through it. Autumn/winter is the best time to scatter seed balls for loads of wildflowers next summer.
A great gift or stocking filler.
