-
Seed paper is made from wood or cotton pulp which is then mixed with a specific seed mix perfect for eco-friendly marketing promotional products. It's fully recyclable and biodegradable.
- What sort of seeds are in your seed paper?
-
Our very own British made seed paper has over 20 different wildflower seeds all native to the UK. Some of are Ox Eye Daisy, Musk Mallow, Cowslip, Poppy, Wild Foxglove, Buttercup, Forget me Not, Red Campion.
- How long seed paper last?
-
Our seed paper is freshly made and the seeds are as fresh as they can be. We suggest planting them within 18 months of your purchase. Plant in a pot indoors anytime of the year once your shoots are strong plant it in your garden in Spring or Autumn for the best results.
- Does seed paper actually work?
-
Many countries outside of the UK have begun producing seed paper, and although this sounds great, we do suggest taking some caution. The cost of these papers is significantly lower to buy in, mainly due to the different processes and the conditions used in production and storage. For example, manufacturers that use “machine drying” will heavily affect the paper’s germination rate.
Our paper is exclusively made for us in the UK using only UK wildflower seeds and no germination-effecting processes are undergone in the production stage, which shows in the quality, as after only 4 days, the paper will start to germinate with several little sprouts. Providing our planting instructions are followed, you will then have blooming wildflowers without question.Don't just take our word for it, visit our gallery of photographs all sent in from our loyal customers who have shared with us their wildflower seed bombs & seeded paper growing experiences.
- How and when to plant seed paper?
-
Plant indoors anytime of the year.
1. Tear and soak the seed paper well in water first for a few seconds.
2. Plant the soaked wildflower seed paper under 1 cm of soil and keep the soil moist. Place it in a nice sunny spot of your house.
3. Once you see some shoots, allow them to get stronger before planting outside in Spring or Autumn. (Germination happens typically in a few days).
Please see 'Your Planting Guide' for more detailed information.
