You know the type. The one whose windowsill is already a jungle, who reads seed catalogues like other people read novels, and who genuinely lights up at the words 'plants for pollinators'.
These wildflower seedball tubes are made for exactly that person. Each tube is packed with little clay balls — a clever mix of UK native wildflower seeds, peat-free compost and a pinch of chilli powder to keep peckish wildlife away. No green-fingered expertise required. They simply scatter the balls on top of soil in a pot, border or window box, water well, and let nature do the rest. The clay shell protects the seeds until the rain works its magic, then up come the blooms — and in float the bees.
Choose from five gorgeous varieties — Cornflower, Oxeye Daisy, Red Campion, Forget-me-not and Common Poppy — every one sourced in the UK and on the RHS 'Plants for Pollinators' list. They're hand-made by Seedball in North London, so there's a lovely story to tell too.
When they open this, they'll already be planning where it goes. It says — I know what makes you happy, and I'd quite like to give the bees a hand while I'm at it.
Yay to a garden full of buzz.
