Seedball Shade Mix

This charming assortment of British native wildflowers is ideal for those less sunny spots in your garden or balcony. While these flowers may find it difficult to grow in total shade (as is the case with all flowers), they are specifically selected to prosper in dappled sunlight or areas receiving limited sun each day. They will equally thrive in full sunlight. Each seed ball includes around 30 seeds from a lovely blend of Bellflower, Forget-Me-Not, Meadow Buttercup, Meadowsweet, Oxeye Daisy, Ragged Robin, and Red Campion.

Seedball grab bags are made of paper, which means they're entirely free of plastic and suitable for home composting. Beyond your personal gardening use, these bags are delightful gifts for gardeners, bee supporters, butterfly aficionados, and those who cherish eco-friendly or birthday presents. They flourish in various planting areas such as window boxes, balcony pots, garden plots, and wildlife gardens. It's time to embrace rewilding!

Forget me nots have been used in the past for their astringent properties. The name Myosotis is derivation of the Latin and Greek for mouse and ears.

Silenus the merry god of the woodlands in Greek mythology, gave his name to Silene dioica. The second part of its scientific name, dioica, means 'two houses', and refers to the fact that each Red Campion plant has flowers of one sex only, so that two plants are needed to make seeds.
