Seedball Make Your Own Kit Wildflower Seed Balls

Yay! Make your own seed balls! It’s super fun, pretty messy and a brilliant activity for all ages!

Each kit includes 3 plastic free pouches of raw materials, which when mixed together with water will create enough mix for 40-60 balls (size depending!)

1. Bee & Butterfly Friendly Wildflower seeds (see mix details below)
2. Clay powder
3. Peat-free compost

You’ll need a mixing bowl, some water and a tray to dry the balls on. Also included is an instruction sheet giving full details of how to make the balls. Making seed balls can take from approximately 20 minutes to an hour depending on your dedication to rolling perfection!

How to use

Throw onto soil or compost in a garden bed or planter in Spring or Autumn, leaving at least 10cm between each ball. Your Seedball has everything it needs to grow and, once the ball becomes moist and the temperature is right, your seeds will germinate!

Once rolled, the seed balls are best scattered in the Autumn, followed by Spring (but as a rule of thumb anytime except winter is fine).

Material/Fabric

Common Poppy (Papaver rhoeas)

Common Toadflax (Linaria vulgaris)

Cornflower (Centaurea cyanus)

Cowslip (Primula veris)

Meadow Cranesbill (Geranium pratense)

Musk Mallow (Malva moschata)

Oxeye Daisy (Leucanthemum vulgare)

Red Campion (Silene dioica)

Seed balls are made from a unique blend of seed, clay (to protect the seed from ants, mice, birds etc.) peat free compost (to give seeds a boost) and chilli powder (an extra predator deterrent).

Meet the Maker

Emily and Ana, the creators of Seedball, want to fill the world with wildflowers - starting with your garden!

Seedball is a non-profit company on a massive mission to help increase the abundance of British wildflowers and wildlife that depend upon them. They believe that if we can all better use whatever space we have available to us (whether a back garden, balcony, window box, little patio etc) we can together have a hugely beneficial impact on our local ecosystems. The last 50 years has been witness to huge declines in pollinators and other garden wildlife, but together we can really really do something to reverse this. Emily and Ana want Seedball to inspire a wildlife gardening revolution while providing a very handy way of going about it! Conservation is in their heart and soul and one day they dream to fund their own Seedball wildflower reserves. Watch this space!!!
