The seed ball concept is based on an ancient technique for increasing seed germination rates - helping to fill our gardens, balconies and window boxes with native wildflowers, bees and butterflies.

Seedball make the seed balls in their HQ in North London, from a mixture of UK native wildflower seeds, clay, peat-free compost and chilli powder.

Wildflowers are naturally slow to germinate, and as such, loosely scattered seed can often be eaten by ants, birds and mice. Seedball helps to solve this problem by encasing the seed in a protective ball of clay, compost and chilli. A barrier of dried outer clay means that the seed is inaccessible to predators, and once sufficient water permeates the clay, the seed inside will begin to germinate - helped along by the nutrients and minerals contained within the ball. The chilli powder continues to deter slugs and snails while the seed ball slowly degrades and the seeds sprout.

Seedball are a London-based, multi-award-winning eco-enterprise, established in 2011 by two conservation scientists as the UK's first seed ball company. Recognised for sustainability, their bee-friendly and pollinator-friendly seed ball mixes are crafted in the UK, making them ideal green gifts for wildlife enthusiasts and eco-conscious consumers.

All their mixes are great for bees, butterflies and other garden wildlife. Find the Seedball range here.
