Grow Wildflowers to Attract Birds Seed Packet

£1.30 Inc VAT




Description

Grow wildflowers to attract birds to your garden as well as pollinators!  As well as insects loving wildflowers, birds love them as well!  Particularly the seeds of Lesser Knapweed and Teasel. Wildflowers in general encourage biodiversity and you can make your garden more biodiverse by sowing a patch of wildflowers, no matter how small, which will attract butterflies, bees, birds, moths and other creatures.

Each manilla or white paper seed packet is completely recycled, made from quality paper, and measures 9 x 12 cm.  The reverse of the packet details the seeds inside and the sowing instructions.  The seeds inside are in a glassine paper sachet (not foil and plastic). If you are not using the seeds for a while, they are viable for a few years and are easy to store by keeping them somewhere cool and dry out of direct sunlight.

What is glassine paper? Glassine paper is an eco-friendly and plastic-free alternative to mass-produced heat-sealed plastic and foil/paper sachets.  Unlike those sachets glassine paper can be recycled and is biodegradable.  It is also resistant to moisture and will keep the seeds dry in the main packet.

Want to use wildflower seeds to show your business cares for the environment? We can add your logo for no extra charge, please just email it over after you  have ordered, with your order number.  A PNG file is preferred, if possible.

About the Wildflower Seeds

Our seeds are solely UK wildflower species, the seeds also having been grown in the UK.  The grower has traceability and is inspected yearly by DEFRA, so you can be sure you are getting quality seeds. Lesser Knapweed and Teasel are highly prized by bees too, so you will also attract lots of bees as well as birds!  Click the links to find out more about them. You will get about a gram or so of seeds, enough to create a 1 metre square wildflower patch.
