Created in collaboration with the Natural History Museum especially to help garden bats!

This bat seed mix includes wildflowers that are perfect for attracting the insects that bats like to eat in our gardens. 

• Borage, Cornflower, Corn marigold, Evening primrose, Night-scented stock, Wallflower.
• 20 balls per tin, 30 seeds per ball.
• Easy to use, simply scatter on top of soil in a garden bed or planter.
• Scatter in spring or autumn. Sprouts seen in 4-6 weeks.

Seed balls are a great permaculture technique for growing seed more simply and effectively.  As life can get pretty hectic, Seedball wanted to make it a bit easier for everyone to have gardens, balconies and window boxes that are bursting with native wildflowers, buzzing bees and beautiful butterflies!

Each seed ball contains a mini ecosystem: wildflower seeds are mixed with clay, peat-free compost and a smidgen of chilli powder, and rolled into a small ball. Each ball is approximately 1 cm in diameter, making them so easy to just scatter. The dried clay acts as a protective casing from common seed predators (such as ants, mice and birds). When sufficient rain permeates the clay, the seeds inside begin to germinate - helped along by the nutrients and minerals contained within the balls. The chili powder continues to deter predators while the seed ball slowly degrades and the seeds sprout.

Seed balls will work well in most environments as long as the type of seed used is suited to that environment and they are particularly useful in dry and arid areas where rainfall is highly unpredictable and in severely degraded land.

Each tin contains at least 20 seed balls!

Each seed ball contains approximately 100 bat mix seeds. For best results, scatter in the spring or autumn

All seed is responsibly sourced in the UK from Flora Locale accredited suppliers, we use only peat-free compost and our steel tins are manufactured in London (they are also reusable and recyclable).
