Are the flowers safe to eat?

How much area does one pack cover?

Do I need to dig the soil to plant them?

Which pollinators do these attract?

Troubleshooting

Seeds are not germinating

Ensure the seedballs have not been buried too deep. They should rest on the surface. Also, verify that the area receives enough sunlight and adequate moisture.

Birds are moving the seedballs

Although the clay shell is designed to deter predators, place the seedballs in an area with slightly loose soil or existing vegetation to help them 'sit' securely.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely easy to plant with no digging required
  • Natural shell provides protection against seed predators
  • Supports local biodiversity and essential pollinators
  • Petals are food-safe and add aesthetic value to dishes
  • Ideal for both in-ground beds and container gardening

Cons

  • Specific blooming window from June to August
  • Results depend on environmental conditions and moisture
  • Limited to a single specific wildflower variety (Cornflower)

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For optimal results, follow these simple guidelines for your seedballs:

  1. Timing: Scatter the seedballs during the Spring or Autumn months to align with natural germination cycles.
  2. Placement: Choose a spot that receives plenty of sunlight, as cornflowers thrive in bright conditions.
  3. Moisture: While the clay shell protects the seed, ensure the surrounding soil remains moist during the initial sprouting phase if the weather is particularly dry.
  4. Maintenance: Avoid walking on or burying the seedballs too deep; they perform best when in direct contact with the soil surface.
