Description
Get Britain Blooming with our fabulous quirky seed packet depicting a vision of Britain full of wildflowers! Wildflowers are so important for the biodiversity of the planet and you can do your bit, no matter how small, by growing wildflowers. Wildflowers attract all sorts of bees, moths, butterflies and other insects and birds benefit too from the seeds.
Each seed packet measures 9 x 12 cm and is made from quality 100%-recycled paper. The seeds are inside in a glassine paper sachet – not a foil and plastic one! Please choose your packet colour above.
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. You will get about a gram or so of seeds, enough to create a 1 metre square wildflower patch.
Wildflowers and insects have evolved together, being of mutual benefit to each other, which is why it is so important to grow native UK wildflower species to help native insects and pollinators. Some insects are totally dependent on only one species of wildflower, so when either is in decline, they both suffer – for example, the rare Duke of Burgundy butterfly is dependent on a good supply of its food plants Cowslip and Primrose; the Swallowtail butterfly only breeds amongst a good supply of Milk Parsley.
This seed mix contains Teasel, Lesser Knapweed, Selfheal, Wild Carrot, Ladies Bedstraw, Ox-eye Daisy and Musk Mallow.
Need to store the seeds for a while? No problem. The seeds are viable for a few years if stored somewhere cool and dry, out of direct sunlight.
