We are so so delighted to launch this new mix with our favourite contemporary artist Yvonne Coomber. Inspired by the wildflowers growing outside of her studio in Devon Yvonne has painted a canvas for Seedball called 'Here Is Where All The Wildflowers Grow'. We've taken a section of this painting to create this totally gorgeous design for our Artist's Meadow Tin with the seed mix being of those flowers from the painting.

To complete our collaboration the proceeds from the sale of every tin go to the Wildlife Trusts - a totally inspiring conservation charity working to save our wild places while bringing people closer to nature.

Each ball contains approximately 30 seeds per ball from a mix of Common Poppy Oxeye Daisy Musk Mallow Corn Marigold Purple Field Scabious Red Campion and White Cow Parsley.

Each tin of contains 20 seed balls enough to cover 1 metre square in a garden bed or 3-5 medium sized pots.

A ball made from seeds clay peat-free compost and chili powder.

The ball prevents the seeds from being a tasty lunch for birds and insects thereby increasing the chances of your flowers growing. Plus they're super easy to use no digging and no expert knowledge needed!

Throw onto soil or compost in a garden bed or planter in Spring or Autumn leaving at least 10cm between each ball. Your Seedball has everything it needs to grow and once the ball becomes moist and the temperature is right your seeds will germinate!
