Bat Wildflower Seed Bombs

Description

A mix of native wildflowers that are perfect for bats! This lovely collection contains a special mix of wildflowers to attract a wide diversity of insects that bats feed on, including flowers that release their fragrance in the evening when bats are most active in our gardens. Each seed ball contains approximately 30 seeds from a mix of borage, cornflower, corn marigold, evening primrose, wallflower and night-scented stock.

There’s no need to dig! As the seeds are encased in clay and peat-free compost, they are essentially already “planted”. Simply scatter onto bare soil or compost (avoid scattering on grass) on a garden bed or in a pot. The outer clay helps to prevent birds and insects from eating the seeds, keeping the seeds nicely protected and ensuring your butterfly friendly wildflower garden has every chance of growing success. There is also added chilli powder in the seed ball recipe to help deter slugs and snails from eating the young shoots.
