What's Inside?
A set of ten large “Happy Christmas” seed boxes – a colourful stocking filler or Christmas party favours – three colour options to choose from.
Each box contains 15 seed balls with a mix of beautiful native wildflowers for garden beds and pots – Cornflower, Red Campion, Meadow Cranesbill, Oxeye Daisy and Musk Mallow.
A little card is also included to explain what the balls are and how to use them- they’re incredibly easy to use – simply scatter on top of soil/compost (no digging or expertise required!) and nature will do the rest.
Best scattered in the Autumn or Spring.

Silenus the merry god of the woodlands in Greek mythology, gave his name to Silene dioica. The second part of its scientific name, dioica, means 'two houses', and refers to the fact that each Red Campion plant has flowers of one sex only, so that two plants are needed to make seeds.

In Austria and Germany oxeye daisies were hung inside the house as it was believed they would repel lightning.
